Is this any good for when doing water changes?
I have a pond in my garden, so I know that no chemicals etc go into it and all the fish are healthy.
so I was wondering whether it would be safe to use when doing a water change? the pond is quite big so the little bit of water that is taken is barely noticable, and then topped up with rain. I've just checked all the water parameters (never done this on the pond before) and they are all perfect.
What are your thoughts?

That's an interesting thought. All I can say is, I raise my larvae in pond water, and it seems to work very well.
 
I can't see a problem with it, after all it has been aged by nature for you. But its always better to test it on a regular basis just to be sure.
 
Thanks both of you, I'll give it a go
If it's o.k for lavae then it should be o.k
Thanks
 
The only 'problem' that I can see is any potential hitch-hikers that may be residing in the pond.

    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?
