New setup for my morphed axolotl, only thing is I'm going to change the water bowl to a darker version so it doesn't stand out as much. Thoughts?

Pretty good, but how did you get your hands on a morphed axolotl?

I believe I saw a thread saying how since its the only salamander specie allowed in Australia, that people try to force them to morph so they can be sold in pet shops

That's right, as we have no native salamander species here in Aus, breeders have spent the past two decades perfecting the morphing technique. They have even been selectively breeding the parents of the best morphers and apparently have got to the point were some bloodlines of axolotls start the process naturally and only a very dose dose of iodine or hormones are required to complete the process. The morphed axolotls these days are much more robust and active compared to those available 10-15 years ago so the breeders are obviously doing something right

    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?
