The LFS ordered me Adult brineshrimp. Thought I was ordering baby brineshrimp. My larvae are 6wks old and onto black worms anyway, so the adult brineshrimp would just be a supplement. Any thoughts? Figured I'd post here because most people were on this forum at the time. :happy:

Brineshrimp are fine. Just remember to check back after a few hours & remove uneaten dead ones as they die in freshwater.

Ok, I figured so just wanted to make sure because they are so much bigger than the bbs they just were weaned off of. Thanks

    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?
