Hello there!
I'm getting my axolotl soon and I'm looking for some good foods for it...
It sounds super silly but I'm pretty unhappy with feeding anything live or frozen because I'm not soo interested in seeing it/touching it. I have small metal tongues I could use but I'd be much happier feeding good pellets. (AS LONG AS they are fully suitable)
Something I want to ask about is what brands and exactly what kinds of pellets can I feed? Is there anything I can get at a Petco or Petsmart?
I found:
(Sinking) Shrimp pellets,
Ingredients: Whole Shrimp, Whole Salmon, Cod, Whole Herring, Seafood Mix (including Krill, Rockfish, Shrimp, Squid, Clams, Salmon Eggs and Octopus), Wheat Flour, Fresh Kelp, Spirulina, Lecithin, Astaxanthin, L-Ascorbyl-2-Phosphate (source of vitamin C), Natural and Artifical Colours, Vitamin A Acetate, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin E Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Folic Acid, Biotin, Inositol, Tocopherol (preservative), Ethoxyquin (preservative).
Guaranteed Analysis: Crude Protein (min) 38%,Crude Fat (min) 8%,Crude Fiber (max) 2%, Moisture (max) 8.5%, Ash (max) 10%, Phosphorus (min) 0.5%, Omega-3 Fatty Acids (min) 2%, Omega-6 Fatty Acids (min) 1%
(VERY interested in these) Earthworm fish food: (sinking) (online I could order it).
Ingredients: white fish meal, fish protein concentrate, wheat flour, soy flour, gluten, dried brewer's yeast, frozen baby brine shrimp, plankton, shrimp, krill, powder mix, earthworms, kelp meal, dried spirulina, fish oil, lechithin. The following vitamins/mineral supplements A, D-3, B1, B12, choline HCL & biotin methionine. Vegetable protein, thiamine (source of vitamin B1). Asorbic acid (source of vitamin C).
Guaranteed analysis: Crude protein 45.0% min., crude fat 4.1% min., crude fiber 4.2% max., moisture 8.2% max. All natural ingredients, except for some artificial coloring. No preservatives.
Another Earthworm Fish food:
Salmon & Stabilized Vitamin C. Contains all essential fatty acids and eight amino acids
Yet ANOTHER Earthworm Fish Food:
blend of beef heart, earthworm, egg, spirulina, and high quality salmon meal
GUARANTEED ANALYSIS
Crude Protein- min 45%
Crude Fat- min 10%
Crude Fiber- min 4.2%
Phophorus- min 1.0%
Moisture- max 5.0%
Microorganisms at the time of manufacture - min 1,000,000 CFU/g
What about sinking Carnivore fish food?
Someone online had food for Frogs/newts/tadpoles (Frog Newt and Tadpole Bites) and said that worked... is that true?
I'm not saying I won't stomach it and feed frozen bloodworms, daphnia, tubifex, but I am more interested in if there are satisfactory pellets I can feed my axolotl.
(I have some old STERILIZED body piercing tongues that I can use to feed. They are the only "rounded end" tongues that I have that won't hurt the axolotl if it rams into them...)
(does brine shrimp work? I got some for my goldfish and was recommended to cultivate them for the goldfish. I would if the axolotl could eat them too. Could I feed the baby brine shrimp to my axolotl too?)
I'll shut up now unless I find something else.
Thank you VERY MUCH!
