I know that copper is a no no in newts set ups. I have been given some water storage tanks to rear daphnia in and they have 2 small brass fittings on them. Is brass also not to be used, they are loft water tanks for storing water. Thanks.
 
This thread ( http://www.caudata.org/forum/f1173-...-building-landscaping-vivaria-enclosures.html ) says that all metals aren't safe. But since the amphibians aren't actually going to have any direct contact with the water I would think it would be okay. Unless the metal isn't safe to the daphnia, but I think if probably is.
It might be worth covering the brass areas with silicone if you can though, just to be safe ( and make sure the silicone is safe too, like GE Silicone 1 ).

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    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?
