Hi, I have a 5 month old axolotl and he has been eating frozen bloodworms. I know nutritionally that’s not the best. We tried earthworms but he didn’t eat all of them (1/2 per day chopped up in small pieces, he was also tubbed at the time because of ammonia in the tank) and I think he got constipated so we went back to blood worms.
So now I’m thinking we might try pellets. I found

Omega™ One Slow-Sinking Color Mini Pellets​

at pets art and I don’t know if it would be appropriate for him.
Here’s the nutritional info. Please let me know if these would be ok.

    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?
