Not sure if I’m in the right section but I’m getting an Axie in a few days!! I’m am putting it in a 10 gallon until I adjust to the motions and can upgrade to bigger. Just curious as to what I can clean the new tank with before filling it with water ?? Although it’s new I’m a bit neurotic and would like to clean it again! I know you can’t use chemicals etc :wacko:
 
Hi, welcome to the site! :)
I always clean tanks with vinegar and a plastic scouring pad and then rinse a few times with lots of water and dry with kitchen roll. It's something I was taught as a kid by the guy that ran our local tropical fish shop and it removes almost all stains/scale/salt build up etc from used tanks, but I always clean new tanks this way as well.
For the outside of the tank, he also taught me that neat vinegar polished off with old newspaper really makes the glass sparkle, which is handy at our house due to the amount of Shar pei slobber that always seems to land on the cleanest surfaces! ;) :)

    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?
