Im afraid my HOB filter is making too much movement and its not doing well on cleaning my tank. I am tired of worrying about it so i went ahead and bought a sponge filter, how should i go about switching them out without causing a mini cycle or too much water flow. I dont wanna stress him out at all. (my previous filter was a fluval 30 and it was too much i had to put a piece of a water bottle to direct the flow but it still seemed like a lot when he would swim under it and i dont wanna take any chances )

    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?
