So I have been reading up on different articles on how to care and feed an axolotl, but still can't narrow down the simplest way to go about things. 1) what's the best tank setup? or best way to change/filter water? and how often should the water be changed? 2) what's the best way to culture food (e.g. brine shrimp)? And for how long or until what age should they be fed Daphnia or brine?

I would really appreciate some feedback on how to go about things! Thanks =)

First, can you clarify your question. You say "care and feed an axolotl", but your questions seem to be about raising them from eggs or early larvae? What age/size of axolotl are you asking about?

    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?
