Hi guys

i have another new question.
i am currently having 3 1.5ft tanks and they are all using very small internal filters with limtied media capactiy. i replaced the carbon bag with seachem matrix as i know biological media is very important to filtration. now i have no space to put any carbon bag.

1) can i just drop the bag of carbon into the tank itself? will it work to filter all those harmful toxic and chemicals in the water same as it is in the filter?

2) i was thinking those carbon bags can also provide some sort of hiding space for newts? good or bad idea?

thanks

    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?
