I near my home I have several seasonal pools where fairy shrimp breed each year at this time. I caught some, and I want to raise them. It needed a period of desiccation for the eggs to hatch, but when I lower the water level to drain the container? fairy shrimp lay their eggs on the bottom and then dries the container, or should be dry with the animals still alive and their eggs? give spirulina as food only okay? other foods can be offered?

Greetings and thanks
 
They should lay eggs on an ongoing basis but the adults usually die because their ponds are short lived. As for feeding, I believe any kind of algae would be fine - you could try yeast too.

    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?
