I have researched it a fair bit but no answers, i have bought flourite to put in some pots in my tank, they are fully sealed and will be covered will sand, is this safe or will it mess around with my water quality and harm my axies?

Its safe. Will not alter your water parameters by leaching minerals, it will actually absorb them, so suppose it could actually lower your water hardness, i dont believe it is measurable or signifigant.

    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?
