So you have a 25 gallon? I have herd of two in a twenty so I would think you would be ok. I have one in a 10 gallon and he's doing fine

The general rule is 1 foot per axie and 1 foot for decor and plants ect so for two axies ideally you need a 3 foot by 1 foot tank :D

I assume that's inches? That's about 25US gal or 90L and 2 feet long - just about big enough for 2 axies.
You need to make sure they are roughly the same size though, otherwise there could be some nipping going on.

    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?
