So I have a house gecko in the same room I keep my axies (not same enclosure!!!) And I've been noticing Xya (he's a wild type CB) and he's usually swimming and he like to be by the surface of the water, and recently I've seen him gulping in fruit flies!!! I don't know if that's ok or not, they get in there because I keep little left over fruits with my gecko and I think that they accidentally fly in to my aches fan and then land on water where they will be eaten.. so in short, is ok for them to be eating little fruit flies?

This is fine, baby newts and salamanders can be fed fruitless as part of their diet, it just won't give him much nutrition but won't harm him at all

    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?
