Lately my guys have had some eating troubles, as many of you may know. They are kinda getting their appetite back, I just have to take 30 minutes or so to get them to eat. And I realized that the only issue now is that they have trouble noticing their food. I have live blackworms, earthworms, and frozen bloodworms. Is there any way to get them to notice their food? (I have already tried feeding tongs, they're not into it)

I tested the water, as many of you suggested, and there's a small concentration of iron in it. Is this bad?

    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?
