good evening everyone.

our axolotls have had babies!!! :D how exciting! Could anyone with some experience help us out on a few things as this is our second time, the first lot were unsuccessful; they all died :(. So we need some advice. This is day 14 and 3 have hatched and are swimming around and there are around 200 left, after taking out the dead ones, that so far seem healthy, wriggling around.
so we need advice on:
when to start feeding them?
how often to feed them?
if feeding daphnia (plan to buy a daphnia kit) how to do this successfully?
how to keep the water clean?
we currently have tham in a small plastic tank - when do we move them into a bigger tank?

thanks one and all - really appreciate any comments, advice, experience.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
