hey what are some ways members have modified there filters to slow down the flow of the water?

I just figured a way to slow mine down and it took me long enough to see it lol i just wrapped a long fake plant i got around the spray bar aimed the spray bar at the wall the plant gets squished against the wall and stays there and defuses the water

all i have to do now is add a airstone as the water is very still bar a little bit were the filter is

I too have recently discovered this....my juveniles up rooted one fake plant in the tank, this merrily floated to the surface and ended alongside the filter..and hey presto. diffused water!!.. I had placed plastic plants in front of the nozzle but this was not very stable..It took the axolotl to show me how it should be done!!

    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?
