I have been slacking off lately, and I have been feeding my N. Viridescens only frozen bloodworm cubes for the past couple weeks. I learned today that these are low in calcium. What is a good calcium source? Is there anything else they would like?

~ They do not take well to tweezer feeding, it freaks them out. Also, they don't really like earthworms as much as they used to.
 
I believe daphnia, scuds, and other crustaceans would be good sources of calcium. Although daphnia, being so small would not be a good idea to feed to your notos exclusively. I know they would be a great addition to the bloodworms though. Larger scuds would seem to be a more substantial food source.
 
Try blackworms, the small, aquatic cousin of the earthworm!

    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?
