I have been using a sponge filter for a couple years now and i found that type of filter just doesn’t keep the tank clear anymore. Any suggestions on what I should try? I have a 35 gallon bow front tank with two axies and a few live plants with sand bottom.

I recommend Aquaclear filters. An AquaClear 50 would be a good choice for your tank size. You could also consider getting a more powerful air pump and running two sponges?

Ended up getting an Aquaclear fluval, I added an extension tube so it reached the bottom. Let it run for over the weekend and worked very well!! Thanks! Here’s the before and after!

    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?
