I have been raising a couple larvae and have them in small food containers. I have been hatching my own bbs to feed them.
The same friend that gave me a couple eggs now has a ton more and was wondering if I can help her hatch and raise them.

Im wondering if I should start growing daphnia to keep up the the demand or stick to bbs? Or what else would be easy to raise and feed to them in such high amounts?
Is there a link to different foods and how to grow them?

Also what are some good options for housing larvae? I have been using food containers for the few that I have now but I will need a lot more if I agree to help.

Yes I have but it is very vague about housing large numbers of larvae and how to grow you own food to feed them.

Culture your own daphnia.

Housing is up to you. There are dozens of ways to do it, from individual cups to large tubs.

    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?
