So I've been reading a lot how axolotls like hard water. I have had mine for months and I've been using my r.o water and they seem to be doing great the female even laid 2 clutches of eggs now. What should I do? Should I add crushed coral and make the water harder? And how so because the crushed coral I have is to big to put in the water I would be afraid of an impaction.
 
Re: Tank perameters

You can put the crushed coral in a nylon sock, to keep the axies from eating it.

I am surprised your axies are doing well in RO water, since usually the pH is very unstable (in addition to not having a good mineral content.) Are you treating it in some way to keep the pH stable? Do you have any rocks in the tank that could be providing the minerals?

    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?
