That's what your seeing, the stomach and reproductive organs. Daphnia are basically colorless, sometimes tinted orange. If they're well-fed, you can see the green algae in their stomachs. If you look close, you can see the 'eyespots', which are black and at the top of the animals. Then they have various appendages for locomotion and moving food toward their 'mouth'. They're very tiny, the biggest being ~1mm long.

    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?
