Garlic is supposed to be an appetite stimulate for fish and salamanders. Has anyone on the forum experimented with feeding your earthworms small amounts of garlic?

It's worth trying I'd say, my Koi certainly like the taste of it.
In fact it is added to certain types of Koi pellets because it's thought to have anti parasite properties as well.

    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?
