I had my boyfriend get me a Taricha Granulosa about a month ago for my daughter, turned out it was a pregnant female and now we have a tank full of tadpoles that are around 2-3 weeks old now. They are just starting to swim around and are hanging out towards the top of the water now more. I couldnt find a lot of information on the 'net so I joined this group to learn more ;)

1st try to separate them from the parent tank. When newts and salamanders reproduce their offspring are called larvae, or in a singular form its larva. Those larvae look like they can take chopped blackworms now. If blackworms are too big then use baby brine shrimp or daphnia. Don't over feed that can foul the water easily and you can lose some larvae like that. At this stage of their lives they may try to eat anything that moves. Avoid injury by providing enough space for the larvae. If you have the resource to put every larvae into its own container or tupperware that would be best. Change water 2 days after every feeding and watch them grow!
 
Hi there :) welcome to the forum!


some sound advice there from jaymes! I do hope if my T.carnifex breed I can get some helpful advice about it all!
 
What crazy luck! The babies look great, as other members have mentioned chopped blackworms are a great food for larvae and provide all of the necessary nutrition. Congratulations on your little guys.

    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?
