What do I have to do to a terracotta pot before I put it into a newly filled (no acolotls yet) tank? Or can I just put it in straight away?... Also, how long do I have to wait before I can put plants in the tank? Thanks :)

Just wash off the terracotta pot in warm water until all dirt/debris are removed, and make sure there are no labels on it! Ready to go.

It's a good idea to quarantine any plants for a week or two to make sure there's no snails or other issues with the plant before placing it into your main tank.

    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?
