It depends what they contain.
In any case you should use very dilute amounts only where nescassery. I prefer slow release tabs(carefully checked for any newt unfriendly chemicals) buried in the substrate. They last for about 6 months and 'feels' safer than suddenly introducing ferts to a tank.

I use in all my Vivs, a fertilizer that I bought especially formulated for Dartfrogs.
If it is safe for Darts It should be safe for newts and salamanders.

In my 75 (goldfish, guppies, axolotls, lots of live plants) I have been using Flourish Tabs and the general liquid Flourish for a while now with no visible problems. I just started using Flourish Iron last night (other liquid didn't have enough).

What problems do people have when they use a bad fertilizer?
What chemicals are the ones to be avoided?

    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?
