Plastic tubing

I've just bought some plastic tubing from a hardware shop (like the tubes you have for bathrooms and stuff), and I was wondering if I needed to treat it somehow (?) before putting it in the axiquarium...

More worried that it will let toxins out into the water!

Ta!

It depends on what type of plastic it is.

I usually soak mine in hot water for 24 hours, scrub all of the crevices with an old toothbrush, and then rinse with dechlorinated water.

    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?
