I have lost several axlotls due to fungus I think I have figured out how to care for that but they seem to keep getting these anchor worms and other than pulling them out I'm not sure how to get rid of them or prevent the axolotls from getting them. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Are there any fish living in with the axies? If so, they are likely the source of the anchor worm. You really should consult a vet, as removing them yourself is stressful to the axie and could injure it.

    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?
