The axolotl will probably just eat it and then explode.
just kidding, the tardigrade will probably die since when humans eat them they digest them so i don't think it will be any different for an axolotl. kinda ironic how they can survive all this other stuff but not being eaten. I wouldn't suggest trying it because I don't think it has been tested on an axolotl before

I'm very late but from what I've heard axolotls are best suited for single species tanks, to prevent the axolotls from swallowing their tank mates whole and probably getting impaction from it or the other species damaging the lotl's gills. I haven't heard of anyone pair tardigrades with them (Tbh I didn't really know people kept them as pets due to how small they are) Since there's not enough information about wether its safe to house the two together, I'd steer clear and house them seperately.

    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?
