i wad wondering dose any1 no how many axies r appropriat for a 18x10 inch tank at the moment ders only 2 but i wanted to get a new axie can any1 help ?
 
18x10inch wud be Ok for one full grown axie. Remember axies can grow up to 30cm (12 inches), so as you have 2 in your current tank you may find that it gets a bit squashed for them in a couple of months. Our biggest adult axies are 28cm-30cm./and our 7 1/2mth olds 20-22cm long.

Some people use the 30cm rule (30cm taking into account an axie can grow to that size) or 45cm per axie (to give room for hidey/plants/decos). So, ideally, for 2 axies - 2 to 3ft tank (24in x 12inch/36in x 12inch); 3 axies - 3 - 4ft tank (36x12in - 48inx12in)

Also, if u do intend getting a third axie, it is best to quarantine it, separate container, for 30 days in case it passes on any nasties/illness or parasites to your current axies.

    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?
