Axel, has been refusing to eat for about a week now TT_TT the filter blew up when we had an enormous storm... and the water is filthy now, i bought a new filter, but it doesnt seem to be cleaning the tank at all...the filter is made for a 100L tank (mine is only a 2 foot, so it shouldnt be 100L) will the filter clean it over a week or so?
has axel stopped eating because of the dirtyness of the water, or would the tumor on his side, finally be catching up with him? TT_TT i dont want to lose him, what can i do??

Have you been doing partial water changes? Water changes will go a long way in helping clear up the water. As for not eating, if he ate up until the filter messed up then I would certainly think it's because of the water quality. However if he quit eating before then, then I would say there is another issue at hand.

    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?
