A good aquarium filter will do, if the water becomes diry fast, replace the normal filter sponge with cotton make-up removers (sp ?)

How little is the lake? A small submersible might do the job, such as a Duetto 50. But for Ambystoma sals, they don't really NEED water, so a small dish, with water dumped out every day or two, might be simpler and cheaper.

    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?
