Hi,

New to this forum! Just need some advice. The current tank I have has a combined filter/aerator. The tank is 55l, the filter keeps it nice and clear and there seems to be a sufficient amount of oxygen (theres a good amount of bubbles being produced but the water flow is minimum).

Just wondering what people's thoughts are on these combined filter/aerators? And if anyone has any good suggestions for good models.

Thanks!

I use uv canister filter with flexible oxygen tubes. I thing those are the best actually cause any kind of aerator helps keep the water healthy but the problem is if it is increasing the water pressure then it's not good for axolotl. I bought combi filter aerator before and itt work ok ... However after I've got the UV canister with adjustable pressure it just so much better as keeping water clean and less worry about unwanted parasite or algae

    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?
