I like the whisper internal filter by Tetra. The're pretty versatile and dependable.

How deep is the water? I like the Duetto DJ-50, but any electrical filter will increase the water temperature, particularly if the total volume of water is small. Another possibility is no filter at all, or just an airstone.

I really appreciate the Whisper canister filters. When I first saw them I thought, "no way is this gonna work". I now use them in all of my newt set-ups. They are truly powerful little filters, and you can customize the filter media. I put a foam pad (cut to size) in the bottom, fill the middle with charcoal and top off with another foam pad. You can also use the intended charcoal pouch, and then stuff the bio stars in front of the canister. At times I have wrapped a thin foam pad around the intake grooves to keep the larvae, or fry, from being sucked up. They are also inexpensive.

    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?
