Will the larvae Axolotls find Baby Red Cherry Shrimp easily? I have quite a few in my tank. I am looking at getting some eggs or baby Axolotls.


Thanks
Len

Red cherries, even newly born ones are very fast. I´´m not sure the larvae would be able to catch them at all.

Your best bet is new born baby brine shrimp. Or daphnia. I prefer brine shrimp, personally. Mel

baby cherries are less than 1mm when hatched and are also very expensive for what they are - daphnia or brine shrimp are definately the better option :)

    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?
