Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

So first off i know this is stupid. I didn't realize the brine shrimp eggs would run out so quickly.. So i have eight for 2 more feedings. I'm worried that i won't be able to get more in time :/ is there ANYTHING else i can feed the 1 week old axi babies? Like...really fine crushed up pellets by chance? I don't know but i need a last resort food to go to in case i can't get more brine shrimp eggs..

Frozen!!!
All of my axo babies were eating frozen brine shrimp and frozen bloodworms very soon after hatch, about 1.5 weeks. I just made a slurry and gently stirred the water to get the food moving and looking like it was alive. It's worth a shot. Just macerate the frozen food bits up fine, add a bit of water, and then drizzle that water in front of your babies.
If you can get to a saltwater aquatics store they will probably have some brine or other refugium dwellers for sale for you to feed your babies if the frozen doesn't work. Good luck! Keep us apprised of what they're doing..others might have better tips.

Thank you for your input I'll look for frozen brine shrimp at petco, the only place that has salt water besides petco is an hour away. I found really thin earth worm babies that i cut up that looks like its in the babies stomachs. I'll try to find more. is the thin cut up earth worms ok if i can find more?

You know, I've never tried earthworms.
But you know axos. Whatever can fit in the mouth, is food. So if you're getting good results with the earthworms, there's no reason why you can't keep giving them some. The earthworms might muck up their water pretty bad, but sometimes that's just something you have to accept.
The frozen brine is sold at Petco, just check the freezer by the fish tanks. Shouldn't be more than $5 for a pack of frozen brine shrimp.
