I was curious on other axie owners thoughts on this tank. This is my 60 gallon corner tank.... Would this be too big and deep for my 2 axolotls??

Axolotls spend most of the time on the bottom of the tank. You would be better off with a shallower longer tank. That tank would be fine for one axolotl but he would probably feel confined.
Not to sound like a smart *** :eek:, but I made a calculation and with those dimensions and I get a volume of 48 US gallons.

Lol. Definitely not a smart**. I always thought it looked smaller than a 60 gallon but I never really did the math cuz it was for my angel and pleco. I will just sell the tank and get a nice more shallow tank. ?. Thanks for your advice.

    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?
