It's a small survey about this. What's better, brine shirmp or minicrabs to feed our larvae? (Or it's the same, only for preference?)
Because i use brine shirmp but i discovered minicrabs eggs few weeks ago, and i don't now their nutritional facts.

Thanks to all comment :)

All small crustaceans can be expected, on average, to have a similar nutritional value, since they are all made of the same basic stuff xD
Without knowing what species those crabs are, it´s impossible to know if there is a nutritional difference big enough to actually make any difference.
I would be wary of the crab juveniles just in case it´s a predatory or scavenging species and some survive to become big enough to become a threat.

    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?
