I have a fluval u1 in one of my axolotl tanks and the earation wasnt working on it for the past few days despite it working for 2 months prior nothing i do fixes it. any ideas on why and should i just lift the filter so the nozzle is not underwater wich creates heavy bubbles

I'm not familiar with this model, is that the output which is not working properly? What is the issue with it? If it's just a part that is broken you might be able to get replacement bits from your local fish store. If the output is creating too much water movement you can tie a bit of sponge on the end.
Since it is an internal filter I would replace the whole thing with a hang on back, or canister, filter. Internal filters often raise the temperature of the tank because the pump generates heat.

    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?
