    Hi ive recently been experimenting with dirt tanks in my aquariums.

    Fire bellied newts + waxworms

    I just fed my fire bellied newts a wax worm each and they loved them. So much so, one of them after eating his tried to steal the other newts worm and they got into a kind of alligator death roll which i had to break up with my finger. I was wondering how often i can give them these worms?

    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?
