As mentioned previously in another post, I had a culture of microworms that I split into 3 separate container.

container # 1 contains microworms + betacarotene (red thick oily liquid) *

container # 2 contains microworms + spirulina (fine green powder)

container # 3 contains microworms + betaglucan (fine white powder)

* I found my betacarotene at Walmart in the vitamin and supplement section


Once I added the different additives, there was still life seen in all 3 containers.

The different cultures were fed to 2 different animals......10 guppy fry and 3 T marm larvae.

The only change I have seen is that my 3 larvae appear a tad bit "pink". The limbs that were previously missing have regrown. I do not contribute the regeneration of limbs to the gutload. This is a normal growth process. I will keep you informed of the "pink" coloration.

    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?
