Hi,
When they hatch, your babies will stay without eating about 2 days.
Once their vitelline vesicle is empty, they'll need little live preys like Daphnias, Cyclops or baby brine shrimps.
I've not yet tried this but mosquito larvae hatchlings may also work, if other solutions are not available, if the water is really shallow (1/2 inch or so)

    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?
