Hi,
Congrats on your axolotl :)
Some advice -

A chiller will be needed if the water temps get above 73-75 degrees. 60-65 is ideal temp range.
Please remove all stones that are smaller than the axolotl's head. Also, frequent water changes (weekly at a minimum), are essential to health. The water looks a bit cloudy... and that could indicate high ammonia which can be very dangerous. I recommend a good liquid test kit so you can more easily monitor the water quality.

    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?
