Hi.

As my adults are growing, I am struggling to work out how much should I feed them.

Both are 16 -18 cm long, leucistic is starting to have dark nails and was dropping spermaphores recently. Both are same age.

What would be the food dosage in this case? (prawns, earthworms, bloodworms)
How can I tell, when my lotls are not hungry, and how, if they are?

Thanks. ;)
 
I just aim for head + body the same width and change feeding as needed to keep it there.

My axolotl is about ... maybe 8" and is eating an earthworm every other day. Not sure if she's still growing or not, but I think so. She isn't getting any bigger (fatter), so I haven't cut back yet.
 
I have been shooting for the same head and belly width as well. my axie is now almost a year old and about 7 and a half inches long. I have been able to feed 2 blocks of froze brine shrimp and/or bloodworms every day and he is not getting over weight and is active and happy. Now that the ground is not frozen i here i will be adding in some earth worms and even guppy fry once i get my breeding group going. But i was also wondering how much some people are feeding adult axolotls to keep the head a belly the same width.
