The shape of the 2 liter bottle helps get proper circulation. Most commercial artemia hatcheries are cone shaped or tapered. A mason jar might work if you don't have dead circulation areas where cysts stay. To much air and the cysts pulverize.
 
I did mine in a small bucket with an airstone, seemed to work out just fine.
 
2 teaspoon of salt and a airstone and have a play around which suits your needs good luck and have fun learning the arts of bbs hatching

    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?
