I recently bought two PVC pipes for my axolotl's. Is there anyway I should be cleaning them, to make sure it is safe for their tank?

To each his own I guess, but I'd opt for a more natural, aesthetically pleasing material. Clay pipe, terracotta plant pots (cut in half) etc. On the PVC, plastics tend to constantly leech out the materials used to make them. One of the reasons most glues won't bond plastics well. Just wash with dish soap and rinse very well. That'll at least get rid of any manufacturing residues on the surface.

    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?
