Hi Jauguar12345 and welcome to the forum. :happy:

Yes, water for axolotls uses the same dechlorinator as the water for tropical fish. Different people use different ones, some people say that the dechlorinators with aloe vera are good for axolotls, so people say that aloe vera is bad for axolotls. It probably depends on axolotl and owner preference.
I have used several, and am currently using Tetra AquaSafe for all of my tanks.
I hope that the information in the following links is also helpful.

    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?
