Hello, I recently got some rough skin newt eggs and they are starting to hatch out and I need advice for a tank set up for them for when they morph. I also need help figuring out what foods to feed them I have a brine shrimp hatchery set up, white worm culture and dwarf isopods.

Blackworms are also good. I start an egg tank by putting water and some crinkled leaves in. I use the "dirty tank" method. You can do a search on this site. Others use a "clean tank" method. I don't change the water much until they are fairly big. Then after they morph you can use a dirt tank.

Try doing a "search" of that. Basically it's like using pond water, but you make your own. I put leaves in water and use a little water from another tank. Other people use clean water and change it a lot. That's what I mean.

    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?
