Hi,
I have more baby axolotls than I expected because I was told that many would not survive and therefore let too many develop. I am reducing the amount I have by selling them but would like to spread them out more but have limited bubblers.

Do they need bubblers if I am doing daily water changes?
If they have bubblers, do I need to do 100% water changes daily?

Some are almost 5cm long. At what age do I reduce their water changes and at what stage can they go into a tank with a sponge filter and only partial water changes.
 
Unless you have a filter you have to change 100% every day. Bubblers are irrelevant, and TBH not needed in any axie tank or tub.

At 2-3" they can go into a filtered tank, just watch for signs of stress due to water flow.

    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?
