Artemia/brine shrimp: Artemia salina or related species, commonly known as brine shrimp. Inhabit hypersaline areas such as Utah's Great Salt Lake. Eggs in their dry state, resembling brown powder, are commonly sold to be hatched as food for baby fish, and work well for newts. Adults are sold frozen and occasionally live.

BBS: abbreviation for baby brine shrimp. See [Artemia]

Just used your definition and added something, hope that's okay.
 
I'm willing to call this final. I made few edits on joseph/daniel defs:

Adults are sold frozen or live, and can be fed to aquatic adult caudates.

Nauplia: Newly-hatched [brine shrimp].

    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?
