Heat stress tends to start AFTER room temperature (21C) so you should be good. I heard the big extreme is 24C before axolotls start stressing.

What temperature does the water in the axolotl tank get to? Check it when the room gets to 20 degrees. If it is over 19 degrees you may want to look into moving either tank to another room or getting a fan for the axie tank. Regular exposure to warmer tank water can affect axies pretty quickly so it's best to get on top of it sooner. Watch for signs of fungus as they are more likely to get it in warmer water.

    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?
