I have bought this silica sand which is almost powder fine, is it bad for axolotls? I've read that the finer the sand is the better as it reduces the risk of impaction...

Should be pretty harmless unless it clumps together when wet. If it does that, then there is a high risk of impaction if your axolotl ingests the substrate.

    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?
