I wanted to let you guys know about a glorified turkey baster I recently bought called "The Snail Sucker".

It was created as the name implies to remove snails from aquariums. But it works fantastic for cleaning up after axolotls. It sucks up uneaten pellets and even the largest of poo very nicely.

I used to use a regular turkey baster but I still had to put my arm in the water. The snail sucker is long enough that I can suck from the bottom of a 40 gallon tank and still have my hand above water.

They sell them on aquabid.com and they also have a website The Snail Sucker

    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?
