To be honest I'm kind of nervous about the whole temperature thing. I have no idea how much the heater will help or hinder, and I was really hoping for some opinions on it. Maybe I should start my own thread? I dunno, I was just at a loss of how to approach it, other than getting a tiny heater.

Like Embry said heaters are only necessary if there is a risk your tank is going to freeze over or you notice your axolotls are not behaving normally. If I ever put a heater in my tank I would buy a sensor/controller that can shut off the power directly to the heater. I had a heater malfunction in my feeder fish tank that heated the water to the point they all died and smelled awful. Better safe than sorry

    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?
