Well I moved my home made hatchery from a jug to an inverted cola bottle with an air line, but still no signs of life.

Surprisingly, as I was so dubious of the system, the Hobby hatchery has produced some BBS today. It hasn't kept the eggs separate unfortunately, but in hindsight I probably shouldn't have used a ready mixed pack, as it is nearly impossible to add them to just the outer ring. I will try the Waterlife shelless ones in it next time and see what happens.

How long do BBS remain small enough for week old axolotl larvae? It has taken since Thursday morning to hatch these and from the way they are wolfing them down I suspect the larvae weren't having too much luck with the baby daphnia.

    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?
