I wondering if newly hatched wild caught tadpoles are good food for aquatic sa ok amanders or larvae also caught from where the tadpoles are from?
 
Re: Tadpoles

If you do a forum search for tadpoles as food, you'll find previous discussions of this topic. The basic answer is yes it's probably OK, but with some risks to consider. Among live food choices, fellow-amphibians are the most likely to carry a disease that would affect a sal.
 
Re: Tadpoles

My problem with wild caught tadpoles for food is that with already dwindling populations, why would you take the lives of many more when you could simply use a worm? Easier to catch and probably easier to digest since it has no bones.

    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?
