For the basic stuff I won't get into it but my tank is cycle and my paramaters are perfectly fine.

Hey I just did 20% water change in my axie tank and my guy is like freaking out and I have no clue why? I do a water change once a week as usual. I use prime as my conditioner and I measure it very closely to ensure the proper dose. He's swimming around frantically, against the glass, and darting from one side of the tank to another. Has anybody dealt with this? Thanks in advance.
 
I would do immediate tests/checks of the ph, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and temperature. The water could have been affected by any number of factors. It's possible that your water supply has been externally affected as well, so if the above parameters seem fine, I'd look into that possibility.

    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?
