I've had my tiger salamander for two years, sometimes he eats fine sometimes. I've switched him to a diet of nightcrawlers before he was on a diet of crickets and mealworms.

1. What else can i feed him, i've tried hornworms and phoenix worms. He ate the very active hornworms but he couldn't eat enough of the phoenix worms since they were just too small.

2. can someone explain to me if superworms are good for salamanders or not? i've heard of people feeding them to salamanders the pet shop employee kept reassuring me they were safe but i wasn't so sure so i didn't buy any.
 
1.Smaller roaches are a great snack for tiger salamanders.
2.The problem with superworms (mealworms) is that their shell is not digested very well, and so can cause impaction of their intestines. They're also very poor in nutrients.
 
Chopped earthworms and nightcrawlers are one of the best things you could feed

    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?
