Adding an ammonia source to new tank...

So when i was reading the article on cycling tanks, it recommended adding an ammonia source, after a few days, yadda yadda. So i don't have brine shrimp, but i have some frozen Blood Worms. Would these guys act as a good substitute to get it going? I'm using the same filter from my old tank, to hopefully give the process a good kick.

Moosh 'em up, throw 'em in. Any 'meat' that is easily decayed works. If you're using your old filter, and the part where the bacteria live (either the biowheel or the media) hasn't dried out, then you don't need to re-cycle.

    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?
