hi all sorry to be a pest but i need some more advice on food
my baby axies are now 3 weeks old and the survivors are doing well
my question is this, i added yeast to my greenwater bucket that contains my daphnia as i read this helps increase yield and within minutes there were hundreds of minute worms all around the top of the water, can my babies eat these? or are they dangerous?

These sound like one of the many free living nematodes (non-parasitic) and the larva may take them.

    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?
