What the hell is going on??!

Your low pH is an indicator of water conditions which are not conducive to healthy axolotls. Yes, you're testing your water but that's only part of the story. Axies like water that's a bit harder and low pH is contrary to that. Try Holtfreter's solution to help bring water conditions in line with what axies need. While the conversation here has been on what happened to your deceased animals, I'd be concerned about your living axie since you are dealing with situations with him that are not really good. Search this site for a good recipe for Holtfreter's solution or google it. It's a pretty standard solution. Axie labs keep their animals in this solution always.

    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?
