PLEASE can some people tell me how much ammonia can kill your axolotl. I have some people saying even 1ppm while others say up to 3. What is it?

I'd imagine that 1 ppm could kill a baby axie, but it's certainly not good for adults either. Long term exposure of 1 ppm could probably kill an adult.

It also depends on your ph levels. If your ph is lower (I.e 7.5 and under) your looking at about 1.5 NH4 being very harmful
Where as a ph above 7.6 is gonna be very harmful if the NH4 gets to around 0.8 -1

That's close to being harmful, if it were me I'd do a 50% water change to bring it down.

I decided to put him in a seperate container for the night. Is that a good idea?

    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?
