Hello. Recently I put a piece of ZooMed Mopani Wood in my Axolotls tank. My problem is that it has a ton of white, slimy fungus growing on it. This in its self is not a problem, as the fungus is not harmful. The problem is that this fungus is clogging up my filter. It has drastically reduced the flow of my filter. Any recommendations to deal with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Clean the filter and repeat! The fungus on wood is nothing harmful like you said and your filter getting clogged is a good thing, since that's what it's for.

I would imagine that boiling the wood would kill all the fungus, if you wanted to be rid of it completely.

    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?
