Do they eggs ship as easily as axolotls?


Is baby shrine shrimp acceptable first food? Or Daphnia or microworms?


I will getting a breeding group and wish to what I need. I have successfully raise axolotl but these might be different.

Yes, the eggs can be shipped similar to axolotls. Yes, any of those are OK as starter foods (although microworms are more prone to disaster and a bit too small).

Thank you! You answered at the perfect. They spawned and hatched already


I was doing twp pronged approach like I am trying axolotls.
I put green water with and raised daphnia.The greenwater is absorbing the ammonia. I will also put baby brine shrimp. This should supply constant food.


The larvae will eat the smallest daphnia first and work up- to bigger siizes.
