All my brine shrimp eggs are stored in the refrigerator. I do bulk purchases from brineshrimpdirect. I purchase vacuum sealed cans and store them in the refrigerator, the cold maintains high yields. I buy sealed cans because the eggs stay viable longer and that way if one can does go stale I always have unopened cans as a backup supply. Once a container is opened I transfer the unused eggs to a glass jar with screw lid and add silica gel desiccant packs to the container to absorb any moisture and humidity. The sealed jars are also stored in the refrigerator and I write the date on the lid so I know how long they have been opened. The desiccant and cold keeps the eggs fresh for a much longer period. I go through a lot because I also breed dwarf seahorses and always have 3-4 cultures going at once.

    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?
