I have had my axolotl for around a month and a half and have had no problems
What so ever, although my axie has his gills slightly forward. I'm not sure how far forward there gills are supposed to be so I'm not really sure if he's stressed or if I just worry to much.
The temp is 20 degrees Celsius, the ammonia is 0 and the PH is 7.0

If they are only slightly curled forward it is most likely normal. Usually if stressed the gills will be curled quite far forward over their head. Their tails will often curl as well if stressed.

    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?
