I raise blackworms to feed my newt & axolotls. Lately I've been having a terrible time keeping the worms alive, and some sort of bacterial scum seems to be the cause. No matter how often I change their water, it's immediately dirty again (slimy, foul, and looks like sewer water). :sick:

I'm worried because my worm population is declining rapidly, and I don't have a way to buy more in a hurry. I don't want my amphibians to go hungry!

I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with this, and what I can do to fix it?

    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?
