Hi all!
I unexpectedly just received some axolotl eggs from a friend and I'm very excited...but also scared haha. I have really no idea what I'm doing XD. I believe they may be about a week old or less (my friend said 7-10 days they would hatch) And they're at room temperature right now so they won't develop so quickly.
I've read all the articles I could about it and just have a couple questions. Any help would be awesome!
1.) I plan on using BBS as a food for the hatchlings, but I've never done this before. I'll be making the hatchery soon but I was wondering if I could use aquarium salt for the solution? I have a bag of it that I use for my fiddler crab water, but don't use all that much.
2.) If this doesn't work, would feeding non-live food (like frozen bloodworms) be an option if it is moving (via airstone, a straw, ect.)? I've heard some saying they feed egg yolk...how does that work?
Like I said, I'm really new to this, but I'd love to have some of the buggers live instead of killing them all with clumsiness :wacko:. Any advice would be great! Thanks
