Could you give us the nutrition facts for them? I'm having trouble finding that.

On a whim here I'd say no, because tetra bits are made for fish, and they generally have different requirements.

If you can, worms would be the best way to go.

at home, and ill like to feed them white the otomatic feedr that i have..

that is a poor diet for them. They are one of the few animals that is a complete carnivore. Those pellets are stuffed with fillers - wheat and soybean products, yeast and gluten. None of these things are natural food to any aquatic animal, let alone axolotls which are ill equipped to digest them. If you want to feed pellets, you should find 100% carnivore fish pellets. Sinking Salmon or trout pellets are recommended, or even better axolotl pellets!

you can buy them in most pet stores. If you can't, buy them online, its probably cheaper anyway.

An even better diet is fresh earth worms. They are so easy, nutritionally complete and cheap! you buy a few hundred and start a worm farm! you will never run out of free food then.

    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?
