I'm moving my two juvenile axolotls from their tiny individual tanks to a 40 gallon tank that I'm purchasing used. I have the option to keep to the water and so on of this already cycled tank. My question is-
Do I need to worry about possible disease/parasites/etc. from using the water and dirty filter from a tank that currently houses fish?
Am I better off just starting over with fresh water, the dirty water from the existing small tanks, and Stability (by Seachem)?:confused:

    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?
