My N.Kaiseri F1 juveniles are nearing the size of my F2 adults, shall I put them together or not?

I don´t see why not. If they are roughly the same size there is no reason why there should be a problem.
Ah, they grow up so fast, don´t they? xD

Depending on how many you have, it may be worth splitting them into two mixed groups, so that you don't lose them all if one tank goes wrong (I know is pessimistic, but...), particularly if you already have two tanks of kaiseri.

It was until the other day that I really realised how big the juvi's had actually got haha

There's only 4 in all, unfortunately I lost one a month back when I put the juveniles terrestrial, I put them straight back in the water after that.
I'd like to free the adults tank up to have a go at a walstad style tank, which I'll maybe use as a breeding tank next year. I have just freed up another tank that I'll probably start preparing as a new terrestrial tank for the N.Kaiseri, I dont trust my old one after my recent loss. It really perplexed and scared me as to why I lost one, it really has put me off terrestrialising my N.Kaiseri (even more so than I already was). I find them hard to feed, more stressed and just generally dont feel comfortable with them terrestrial, although I feel they should be.

    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?
