Just with the water changes, axies are messy animals and a 25% change once a week would be better, especially with the higher temps.

Make sure the filter doesn't output water to hard, or else your axie could get stressed out due to watercurrents.
The rest sounds good!
Good luck with your axie, any pics on the tank for us to see? :D

    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?
