Glass worms

I got some bags of daphnia and all 3 had some strange looking bugs in there. I was worried that they might be dragonfly larvae so I fished them all out and put them in a separate container. After some research, it looks likely that they are glass worms.

Now the question is - what to do with them?

Is it safe (and healthy) to feed them to paddle-tail newts? They are far too big to feed to the fire belly larva, as he is currently on daphnia and really tiny bloodworms.

Thanks Kaysie! I'll try putting some in with Imi and Rissi and see how they react to them :)

    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?
