Hi

We fed our axolotls live blackworms today for the first time today. We found that the our axolotls loved them but quite a alot of them have got into our sand substrate. Only about 2cm of each worm is poking through the top of the substrate, so it looks like we have grass growing (just to paint a picture of what i mean) My question is are they going to cause a problem to our water ? Should I remove them or are they ok to leave them until we do our next vacuum this week ?


Thanks
 
Many of my tanks have blackworms living in them, as long as there's not too many it's fine.

    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?
