Axolotls probably could tolerate being fed Krill occasionally, but I have not tried it. For some reason my brain revolts at the idea of feeding a saltwater animal to a freshwater animal! 
Mine get fed mostly pellets from the now Kentucky Axolotl colony and occasionally blood worms or beef heart.

I tried chopping some up really small and rinsing the brine off. He ate a few pieces. Probably not is favourite - his favorite are black soldier fly larva (phoenix worms.) He gets one a day with his pellets and either blood worms or mysis shrimp. I just started up a compost bin with red wigglers. When they start breeding I will move him onto those.

I have not fed krill to my gang (all mature now) but they do occasionally get prawns as treats, which I soak in a bowl of warm water for at least half an hour to defrost them and remove as much salt as possible.
You already seem to be giving your little one a varied diet, so don't worry too much about adding to it.
It is a good idea to start a wormery. I haven't done that yet, but I have a very good local store that deals with fish, reptiles and amphibians, and they sell a range of live food, including earthworm, quite cheaply. :happy:

We also have a beardie and I think she would like the worms too! He doesn't seem to enjoy the mysis shrimp or pellets anymore. He doesn't eat them. So, I guess for now, it's blood worms (and I will hide a few pellets in the bunch) u til he's onto red wigglers.
