I have a shrimp tank, and a axolotl tank.
I use the shrimps as axolotls food, and it's worked fine so far.

But this morning my mother found a quite large harvest-man with red dots along it's body and legs.
According to wikipedia, its parasites. [ File:parasitismus.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ]

Now here is the problem; Will the parasites 'attack' the shrimp, and then the axolotls?
or should i burn the house down? :)

The red dots are parasitic mites. They should pose no danger whatsoever to either your shrimp or your axolotls.

    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?
