Feeding larvae help!

[N4t3b]

Okay I just got some axolotl larvae the other day and they are just hatched. I caught some daphnia in a pond and put the littlest ones in the tank with the larvae. They wouldn't eat the brine shrimp frozen so i caught these. Is it okay for them to eat them? they look like little fleas that swim and they are kind of redish I just want to make sure they are ok to feed. Also one of the larvae tried eating a brine shrimp that was to big and a tiny piece is sticking out of its mouth and I don't no how to get it out! Any help please??

i don know about the daphnia but id say for the food leave it a few days see if it passes if not just get some tweezers or something of the kind and get it out like that!

Ok it looks like its trying to swallow it i think it might have swallowed half all ready. If its still there tomorrow night ill use tweezers.

Small daphnia is ideal for your larvae, just remember to give it a rinse with dechlorinated water first.

Alright thanks and i got the piece of food out of its mouth. They are all doing good now and chasing the daphnia around. =p

Sorry to kind of butt in with something a little off topic, but what is the best method for rinsing axie food with dechlorinated water?

I put the dechlorinated water in a spray bottle to rinse, but does anyone else have any better ways?

I pop dechlorinated water is a bowl put daphnia in a net and pop them in the bow lof clean water then through the net again.
