No it is not. Distilled water should NOT be used as it contains extremely low amounts of ions which makes your newts kidneys work harder. This information was taken from the link below. I suggest you look over it for this and other key water facts.

It was explained to me once that distilled water is "dead" water. While it's supposed to be "OK" to top off a fish tank, it's best to steer clear of it.
I like to use tap water that is aged overnight after being treated for chlorine and chloramine.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
