I was hoping for some recomended sizes for a tank to hold 3 Axas in ive read about Labs holding them in smaller size tanks but thats not fair on them i want them to have room to swim and eat and be themselves.
 
A 4 foot or 3foot with a large floor area sounds acceptable, I would not go any lower than 3 foot that is for sure
 
Also something to consider.......
If you aren't an experienced Axolotl Keeper you might want to stick to 2 animals. I got 4 and feeding them without one of them losing a limb is a real stressful acrobatic maneuver!
 
The rough rule of thumb is around a square foot per axie and more hides than animals.

    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?
