Would it be possible to feed my tiger bait store leeches, ie canadian tire, walmart etc?
 
In books i read that newts native to my country (I.alpestris, T.cristatus, L.vulgaris and L.montandoni) feed on leeches, i think it will be no problem for such big caudates as a tiger to eat a leech.
 
I feed my stuff leeches whenever the chance arises. I don't have the luxury down here of being able to buy them in the bait stores so I have to rely on finding them myself. Whether it be the ones found in blackworm cultures or the ones you find in the marsh muck I've never had a salamander refuse them. I do only feed them by tongs though to reduce the possibility of them getting loose in a tank.

    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?
