I was considering putting in something for my axolotl to hide in if he wants. I got a 2 inch black irrigation "T" piece. Would this be a good idea? At the moment he has a couple of plants, some big-ish stones and small fake rocky outcrop thing. Do other people have similar things in their tanks as hiding spots?

Irrigation pipe may or may not be safe (I'm not sure what kind of plastic they're made of). However, if you get PVC (drinking-water safe) plastic elbows or t's, those are fine. You can also use clay pots on their side, either whole or cut in half long-way (to make a cave).

    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?
