I decided after my current nitrite test kit emptied I may as well get a test kit. I researched , I studied prices on line and ended up on ebay where I found a api test kit. I bid on the item, and when checking my bid I realised it was a marine test kit, instead of a fresh water one. Needless to say I won the item.
My question is will any of the tests be suitable for use on fresh water ?
Thanks in advance.
 
All the tests should work for reading freshwater. The only problem will be the reference card that comes with it will have colors that don't match freshwater and the kit will only have high range pH. If you used API test kits in the past just keep the old reference cards and you will be good. Otherwise you may be able to have API mail you a set of the reference cards.

    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?
