I'm currently using frozen water bottles and switching them regularly to keep it cold, but does anybody know an easier method? My little guy seems a little stressed due to the heat :/

If you set up a fan to blow across the surface of the water, it speeds up evaporation and heat transfer, which can drop the water temperature by a few degrees. That's the cheapest, immediate fix aside from using the ice bottles.

    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?
