When I was adding water into the axolotl tank, my little sister dumped 2 containers of goldfish and tropical fish food into the tank. I scooped out all that I could, but the water is extremely cloudy, i can't even see 2 inches from the front! The canister filter is running, is there anything else i can do?:confused:
 
I would measure those parameters closely. Ideally move your axies into sick tubs for now incase there is a deadly spike in one of the three parameters. Once you know that food is now mostly nitrates, drain the water and this time you can probably drain more than usual since I would imagine the nitrates levels will go up big time.

    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?
