my water went really foggy when it was cycling and it usually does. are u sure ur tank is properly cycled?. have u added any extra axies to the tank lately? because that also caused my water to go foggy because the bio mass(axolotl) was to much for the bacteria or something like that.

did you quarentine these feeders before you fed him them?

i think the least stressful thing for him is to move into the fridge, 100% daily water changes while your tank settles down. leave it for a while (without the axie in it) and see if the cloudyness goes away by itself. also being in the fridge will slow his metabolism down, hes probably just not eating because of the water probs and once you have it sorted hopefully he will perk up.

good luck!

typically cloudiness in a tank is most commonly seen in tanks that are not cycled or have a sudden massive influx on the bioload.

As you have been doing massive water changes I suspect you need to cycle the tank.

When offering feeders, you can feed them off of long tweezers so they can readily catch them. Goldfish are not recommended as a main food source due to the high levels of saturated fat they contain.

    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?
