This is a bit of a newbie question, but i'm reading about morphed Axolotls and as i am getting two, i'm worried that it MAY morph? is this possible?

It is possible, but VERY, very unlikely.

Morphing in axolotls is rare and usually down to other factors, such as very poor water quality.

So you needn't worry.

    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?
