The other day one of my decorations that sticks to the tank fell off and I believe one of my males was underneath like he always is. I see a small cut/scrape on his front leg. Is there anything I could or should do for him?

Keep an eye on it and watch for infection. Keep his water in great shape. He should heal up just fine. If fungus or bacterial infections occur, treat them according. They are great at healing :)
Good luck!

    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?
