I haven't found a pet shop (that stock fish) that doesnt sell cherry or ghost shrimp, try your local dobbies/pets at home or prefferably a privatley owned place, I've found they are priced at about £1.99 each.

If you are looking to have them reproduce I suggest you go for cherrys, I have read that ghost shrimp can be more fragile and are harder to breed.
Oh, and if you are planning to put them in with your axolotls they may quickly end up as dinner!
hope this helps :D

    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?
