How many is enough? I have a 40 gal breeder tank that I got at petco, and I was wondering if I should use one sponge filter listed for a 40 gallon tank, or should I use 2 smaller ones, or 2 listed for the 40 gallon tank. I know axolotls can be quite messy, which is why I posed the question.
 
I found my one enough however it depends on how many axolotls you have, I have a 3ft that I run with just one sponge. Taking into account how often you're siphoning out the gunk
 
I have three 60 gallon sponge filters running in my 55 gallon it seems to keep them happy.
 
I have one sponge filter rated for a 50 gallon tank in all 4 of my 40 breeders.
 
Thanks guys. i'll probably pick up 2 just to be on the safe side. They're pretty cheap, so it won't be a problem.

    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?
