I have no experience breeding these salamanders, but I would assume that the same rules apply with them. What others do is they cool the enclosure and lower the water to simulate fall and winter months. Then after a month or two they raise the temp gradually back to the usual temperature and raise the water slowly every week er so. Thats the best answer I can come with since I have no experience and have no idea whether its succesful. Hopefully someone with experience could help

    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?
