Hi! I have an old biorb that a friend gave me and I was interested in getting an axolotl. I've read that they don't like moving water and the biorb has a bubble tube going through the middle which will move the water constantly.

So...should I give up on the idea of getting an axolotl for my tank? Thank you in advance! ;)
 
I would have to be 10 gallons or more. Axies can get 12 inches long and do not like strong light. You would need to be able to put a flower pot or other cave like structure for them.
 
Biorbs are barely suitable for fish. So a definate no for an axolotl due to the size and shape. You'll need at least a 2 foot tank for one axolotl. Mel

    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?
