Hi my axie has fluffy fungus all over him and I have read about fridging and salt baths. Can I use water out of our rain water tank? It is unchlorinated with no chemicals.

Depending on the region, rain water can be polluted by chemicals/dust in the air. Assuming the water is clean, it may also be too soft for good axie health. Dechlorinated tap water is fine really.

    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?
