So i know it's ok to feed axolotls earthworms
But what about red worms (compost worms)? Same concept or are they not so good?
 
If chopped, red worms (aka red wrigglers) secrete something that makes them taste bad - axies have been known to spit them out. The brown worms (night crawlers) don't secrete that :)
 
Some axies are not so picky and they'll eat them happily.

You can also soak them for a little while and that helps rid them of the bad taste.

    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?
