At the moment I am blessed and my female is laying eggs as I type this :)
Just wondering how much brineshrimp does one axolotl eat per day?
im going to raise about 50 or so, so if an expert breeder could let me know on how much brineshrimp I would need and how many per serving for 50 larvae?
If someone could answer this before they hatch that would be great!
Iv asked around the local petstore and they have suggested I feed the larvae a beef liver piece for them just to feed on... so obviously that wasnt a good place to start with information haha.

thank you in advance!
 
I usually just give them as much as they can stuff their little mouths with.
 
thanks for the tip guys! these guys are about 10 days before hatching and have just seperated the adults so I am excited :)

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu

    I believe my axolotl is constipated. I got him 8 days ago and have not seen any poop in his tank. I have a 20 gallon tank. No other tank mates. 2 hides and a bare bottom. I didn't feed him the last two days. His belly looks swollen and dark in color. I believe it is the food you can see. I fed him blood worms and soft quick sinking axoloty pellets. I tested his water today. Ph was 7.6. The nitrite and nitrate were both zero. The ammonia was 0.25 ppm. I was advised to cycle my tank due to the lack of nitrate. I added Seachem stability 10 ml to my tank yesterday and 5 ml today. I have a tank chiller. The water temp is set at 64. He is still active, but his tail floats up when he is moving about the tank. I am on the fence about fridging him. I also don't know how long to go without feeding him. I don't want to harm him. Please help asap. Thank you.
