I have a mad scientist idea of mixing color enhancing fish food floating sticks with normal sinking salmon pellets hoping to get a color enhancing effect.they would be blended and then frozen and served trying to make them almost gellatin like.I was just wondering has anyone tried this before and is it safe for amphibians

Fish food usually includes a portion of vegetable matter.
If you want to introduce carotenes in the diet, either use commercial powders or natural foods that are rich in them.

    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?
