I am currently in the process of setting up a 40-gallon breeder for my 3 young adult axolotls. I have been using an Aqueon filter in the 20 gallon, that I had them in as juveniles, but I am not overly impressed with it. I have no substrate in my tank and I'm looking for a good quality but reasonably priced filter for their new setup. I'd love to know what has worked well for keeping your guyses tanks clean.
 
Aquaclears are relatively inexpensive, easy to use and reliable. I would grab a an aquaclear 70 and run you old filter in tandem in the meantime to speed up the cycling process.
 
That's a great idea! Always a plus to speed along cycling! Do you have an opinion on the Sunsun canister filters?

    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?
