I have recently planted out my newt tank and would like to keep them alive. I've seen lots of acquatic plant feeder online - but I am not sure which (if any!) are safe for use with amphibians. I don't want to give my newts chemical burns! Has anybody used one of these products safely?

Sorry, the post topic should read: aquatic!
 
If your plants are doing OK you won't need plant food.
The substances your plant need is dependent upon the water you use, the food you give etc etc and of course plant species. But most of the time you don't need fertilization.
Just wait what will happen and what kind of algae you'll get. They tell a lot about the possible shortages.

PS: Al the fancy stuff like CO2 fertilizers are rubish. You only need them when you're trying to grow land plants under water. Real aquatic plants can grow underwater and do not need this. This sounds ridiculous but most aquarium plants are not really aquatics but marsh plant.

    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?
