I have a juvenile axolotl. His tank got pretty foggy in the last week or so and It concerned me so I did a major deep cleaning. NOW in the past 3 days, he's stopped eating. He's had maybe 4 bloodworms. He's been such a good eater in the time I've had him. I don't know what to do. I'm so worried and I need help.

do you have a water testing kit? thats the first step

you need to be able to know pH, Ammonia, nitrAtes & nitrItes (if you can, try not to rely on the test strips, they arent very accurate compared to the liquid test)
Gh and Kh tests are good too but not a necessity

What kind of deep cleaning did you do? Too much of a clean will remove all beneficial bacteria and cause a cycle crash.
As above test all parameters and let us know. You may have had a bacterial bloom, which is normal and eventually clears. If you have a photo of the tank before you cleaned it that would help.

    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?
