So I recently came across a video of hill stream loaches. They are cold water fish, and stay pretty small. Could I keep a few with my lotl? They look super cool and it would be a fun addition to the tank
 
As I understand it, hillstream loaches require a very strong current, so I would be concerned that they wouldn’t do well in a still axolotl tank. I did a bit of research on them for a high current river tank I had planned, but haven’t actually kept them, though. If anyone has had experience with them, hopefully they can give you more solid information.

Yes, I’ve seen some in mostly still tanks but, have read that more current is better.

    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?
