Is there a nack to cleaning the stuff that floats on top of the sand? I googled and found a suggestion to move the syphon tube in small circles to create eddies but it still isn't getting a lot of it up. The Axies don't seem to mind terribly if it is there or not but I'm not sure it's good for them.

You can never truly get rid of all of it... but yes, pretty much like you said, siphon it up. A cycled tank should take care of the rest.

    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?
