I am not sure, you will need to keep a very close eye on this. Make sure the water is nice and cool, hopefully it will be ok. .
I would strongly advise you to remove the gravel though. Axolotl will gulp in food and are prone to swallowing anything else....including the small stones. This can potentially cause impaction.

Suppose I should of updated this ... I returned the Axi to the store and the owner kept it there to keep an eye on recovery, unfortunately it died after a few days.

    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?
