I am considering starting a colony of Daphnia to use for my Axolotl babies. There's just a couple questions and concerns.
- What species would be most appropriate for newly hatched Axolotl babies, and be fairly hardy? (Cold-tolerant species would be perfect.)
- I would only use my colony of Daphnia around the winter-fall times, when Axolotls lay eggs. Is it worth it to culture and maintain daphnia colonies for the rest of the year?
 
Yes, the daphnia is perfect! it withstands different temperatures, is tall and low, and then from our amphibious friends they are very pleasant. I have been raising daphnia for different years, and I am well me.

    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?
