Question: New Eggs/Babies

[Char]

Hi Guys/Gals,

My eggs (couple of hundred) have started to hatch and as i have never has baby Axes before i have several questions.
1. When they hatch should i seperate them out to a smaller container to feed them?
2. I have small live white worms. My idea was to just cut them up and put them in with the babies.
3.I am growing see monkeys, would it be easier just to throw the Axes in with them?

Any help is appreciated.

1. How are you housing the larvae now?

2. I doubt you could get the white worms chopped small enough for the axolotls to eat.

3. How are you raising the sea monkeys?

The eggs are all in a large plastic clear container.
The sea Monkeys is a kit i bought of ebay which have now hatched.

The larvae should be fine in the container they are currently in.

Are the sea monkeys brine shrimp? If so they would be fine to feed to the axolotls as long as they are rinsed in fresh water first.

You should keep in mind what you're going to do with all the larvae when they start getting bigger. Do you plan on keeping a couple hundred adults?

The Sea Monkeys are Brine Shrimp. What te best way of removing them and rinsing them in fresh water? They are miniscule.
As for the couple of hundred, i will not have any problem finding homes for them.

Use a brine shrimp net or even panty house stretched over a reguler fish net to scoop out the brine shrimp, then hold the net under gently running water.
