Your better off using baby brine shrimp if you cant culture your own daphnia. If your looking to use daphnia from shops you need to be aware of the problems of supply, which can often dry up leaving your larvae to starve, cost and the fact that adult daphnia are too big for hatchlings, you need baby daphnia or moina initially. If daphnia is your plan A still get brine shrimp eggs as plan B.

    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?
