Multiple tanks on one filter

Can I use multiple tanks on one cannister filter? I plan on using a 20 gallon tank for axolotls and a 10-15 gallon tank for feeder fish. I think it will work if both tanks have the same amount of water, but i want another opinion before trying.

The fish would be used to feed the axolotls and i think the filter could handle both, so i don't think that would stop any diseases, plus i'll have the fish for a few weeks to quarantine them anyway. I could use a cheap filter if necessary on the fish, but i'm trying to justify a $70 filter on a 20 gallon tank.

I'll probably use an aerator in the fish tank. Using it on more than one axolotl tank shouldn't be a problem though, right? Each tank would have axies a different stages, and combining the water would make it more stable.

    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?
