I have a friend who got an axolotl at 3 inches and a month later, that axolotl was 5-6 inches. All she fed him was bloodworms once a day.

What is the best food to feed and ideal schedule for a getting an axolotl to grow the fastest?

I'm pretty much thinking that feeding the axolotl every time it is willing to eat every few hours would do it, but is that healthy?
 
Axolotls are naturally fast growers if kept in proper conditions. When axolotls are younger i feed them bloodworms once a day until they are big enough for worms. Once they're big enough for worms I feed them every other day.
 
Every other day? I feed babies altleast twice, usually three times a day and anything 4 inches or more once a day sometimes twice.

I can see the high temp working. I think she had said that she had the water temperature being high anyway.
 
Not babies babies I feed heavily once a day. When they're big enough to eat WHOLE worms I feed every other day, until they stop growing then I usually feed about 3 times a week
 
How long does it take for yours to be fully grown?

    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?
