Can a tire track eel over eat? (And fire eels?)?

Hello. I have a tire track eel, and he’s been eating like crazy. I feed him lots of earthworms, sometimes brine shrimp, and I’m pretty sure he’s the culprit that ate two of my small iridescent sharks (I though they were big enough so he wouldn’t be able to eat them), and right now he’s huge. I’m wondering if tire track eels can over eat themselves on food. His belly is *very* large and I’m wondering if I should try feeding him less. I also have two fire eels who are eating fine (they only seem to be interested in some earthworms and sometimes brine shrimp, I’m not sure what else they’d go for), and not eat so excessively as the tire track. I just want to make sure they won’t gorge themselves, or if they at least know when to stop. Thanks.

My fire belly newts?

I just got my 2 fire belly newts a couple of weeks a go and

They will not eat (brine shrimp and newt pellets)
Will not go in the water (But they did at the pet store)
And one is so skinny I can see his spine sticks out way more than the other one.

Can u help with any of these problems?

Raising sea monkeys for fire bellied toads?

I want to raise some brine shrimp for my fire bellied toads but I can’t buy live brine shrimp anywhere. Can I buy some sea monkey kits, grow the sea monkeys and feed them to my toads? I have read a lot about raising them and I am confused

I know the butterflys will try to eat the corals so doing a reef tank will be out of the question. Really want to do a reef tank but can’t have the butterfly eating at my money through corals. Also are all these fishes compatible with each other…I’m planning on having at least a 200 gallon setup.
Are there any corals that I may be able to have in the tank despite the butterflys?
