Hi! So, in my axolotl tank I have black sand. It's a pretty big tank. So when I feed my little one blackworms, she'll get the majority of them. Except some will fly around. I try and suction them to give back to her. But a) it's a pain to get the individual ones b) it's time-consuming to get them all. Is it okay if I just leave a few in the tank? Will she be able to smell them, and seek them out eventually? Will it contaminate my water? I have a 70g tank, and I do keep a close watch on water parameters. Please let me know!
 
they won't harm the tank but they will multiply and become part of the tanks clean up crew.

    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?
