Difficult question, thousands at stake!

[jeff]

Hi, I just thought I would post this here beacuse newt and axotols, which i spelled wrong, have lives depending on it. Sort of. What oh what do mayfly larvea eat? I just got a thousand or so of them and I need to make this bite-sized before my new shipment of amphibians arrive in a few days.

It depends on the species of mayfly you have. Some feed on algae and plant material, while others feeding upon dead and/or decaying material. If you can figure out the species you can probably figure out what they eat.

Here's a link on what I found on the subject:
