Hello, I have two 4-5inch Axolotls and am about to feed them live bloodworms for the first time tonight.

Could anyone suggest how many to feed,a teaspoon egg cup etc?

Also how long should I leave them in the tank?
 
Feed them small bits at a time, like a pinch in between your fingers. Leave them in there as long as the axies will keep eating. The cubes they sell usually come in cubes about a gram each. You can try that amount at first. Search for bloodworm cubes and you'll see an approximate size.
 
when I feed my axies live bloodworms I leave them in the tank as long as they are alive. So the axies can hunt them whenever they want. I only remove the dead ones.

Thank you, I have fed my white likes them but my grumpy albino has not noticed!!!

it looks like I put too many in but bubbles has been hunting them for a few minutes

Thank you for the advice I will try to post pictures for you soon but not my ugly home made mesh hood, but you can not argue with a 2 degree reduction!! hope they appreciate

    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?
