Will these raptor carnivore pellets be suitable for Axolotls? I am looking for 3mm pellets and I came across these. I have put up hikaris sinking carnivore pellets ingredients as a comparison as a lot of Axolotl keepers here in Australia seem to use them. Salmon pellets are not available to me here as no one seems to ship to Australia but I have added their ingredients too for reference. I really don’t know what to look for in ingredients so hoping someone can offer some advice here???

Also I currently feed my larvae and juveniles bbs, daphnia, mozzie wrigglers and blackworms (depending on Axie age) I’m only looking for a 3mm pellet that will take up 50% of their diet as juveniles when they get big enough to take them and for when my cultures may crash.

    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?
