1) Live - Rosy Minnows , Californian Black Worms, Red Wiggler Worms, then 2) Frozen Blood Worms, then 3) Water Dragon (Axolotl) Pellets. Use Water Dragons Pellets when you run out of live food or frozen.
You can buy Rosy Minnows at Petsmart for about 13 cents each. Before you feed Rosy Minnows you need to drain all the water from the bag because it may be contaminated with bacteria. You should put the minnows is a separate tank for 1 day and do a 30% water change. When feeding Rosy Minnows you need to lower the tank water level to be about 1 inch above your Water Dragon's head. This will allow him to reach the feeder fish. It is important that the feeder fish are smaller than your Water Dragon's mouth. Also make sure that you buy healthy Rosy Minnows that are not sick. If a minnow is sick, take it out so that it cannot be eaten. Rosy Minnows are a great food source for an Adult Water Dragon (Axolotl).

Other Q and A's
My Water Dragon sick and won't eat what should I do?
You need to hand feed Rosy Minnows to your Water Dragon. You can buy them at Petsmart for about 13 cents each. The best way to feed minnows is to net a minnow then grab it by the back fin. Put the minnow in front of your Water Dragon mouth and he should eat it. It is a Water Dragon natural instinct to grab and eat the minnow. If he does not eat the minnow the first time try again in an hour. If he will not eat minnows then try live Californian Black Worms or live Red Wiggler Worms.
How often do you feed a Water Dragon?
I feed Water Dragon (Axolotl ) Pellets two times a week Monday and Friday. It is okay to feed up to three times per week, after 24 hrs remove all uneaten food to prevent bacteria in your tank. It is better to feed too little than too much.

I found Websites that have conflicting information regarding the care and feeding of Water Dragon (Axolotls), what should I do?
There are literally hundreds of Self-Appointed Armchair Water Dragon (Axolotl) Experts out there on the Internet and some these guys even have impressive sounding names like PhD. If you put 100 of these so-called Axolotl experts in one room you would have 100 different opinions. A vast majority of these internet posting are only from book knowledge or from very limited personal experience breeding axolotls. So a good question to ask these so-called Axolotl experts: Are you currently breeding Axolotls? If so how long?

More importantly, you need to understand what is motivating the writer to make these postings. Are these postings emotional? Or are they trying to scare you? Or do they try to make you think that you need a PhD to raise an Axolotl's? Could the real purpose be that they want you to join a club or send a donation? If so, the information they are posting is probably questionable at best.
