I have now been through two unsucsessful batches of axolotl babies. And I now have two more one of which is getting ready to hatch. I would really like some information on start to finish of exactally what other people have done with sucsess. My only live food is daphnia manga. My water is a little over 7 on ph. Temp probably stayed around 70. So I am needing to know what all do you feed them what types of water are safe to use on the babies. How often are water changes done and possibly an easy way to do water changes. And anything else I may be leaving out. Like I said I'm thinking I need a list from start to finish. It would really be helpful. Thanks Kathryn

What I've done with success is this:
I feed them brine shrimp twice a day, once in the morning, once in the evening.
When they're new I changed their water every day then when they grew their front legs it became every day or every other day.
If they looked stressed I took some extra care of the stressed ones, gave them some more food. Just kept an eye on every one to make sure they were doing well.
That's pretty much it. It seems to be going well, they're all growing their hind legs now :D
Good luck! I hope that helped!

    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?
