I noticed some interesting creatures among my daphnia today as I was sifting for small ones for the larvae. Could anyone possibly identity these? My books do not have a picture or description of them.
They do look like a midge larva.
Look up "glassworms" for a comparision. Some of those types of midge larva are predators and there are reports of them consuming larval fish.
Yup, they're glassworms. Not harmful to anything bigger than a few milimetres long, good food! After reading about these for years, I'd never actually seen one until this year when they showed up in my outdoor Daphnia cultures. Must be climate change...
My removing of them was before I had any information on them, I would rather be safe than sorry in that regard. The C.O.s quite enjoyed munching on them.
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?
