Since adding Flourish to my tank for the first time almost 3 weeks ago my water has been green and cloudy- now i can barely see the back of it. Water changes do not seem to help alot. Does anyone have any suggestions?
 
sounds like an algie problem other than that i have no idea
 
im thinking of trying a UV filter. does anyone have any comments about whether this is a good idea?
 
Adding fertilizers to the water where algae is present in small numbers will cause an algae explosion. Using a UV filter will probably not help much. A diatom filter may help reduce your algae population. I recommend giving the tank as little light as possible, changing the water often, and not adding more fertilizer.

    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?
