hi all ive just bought a 120cm x 38cm x 40cm tank for my three (soon to be four) axolotls, i have two in the 60cm x 30cm x 30cm now with sand as the substrate, if i take all this sand and put it into the new tank and top it up with some new stuff plus use the old water and filter will i be able to put the axies in it after a day or so (to let water clear) or should i fill the new tank up with all new stuff and chuck a piece of their food in it to help it cycle while the others wait? i have no other filter apart from the one thats in with them now, should i put it in the new tank to help it or leave it in the one its in? i can do water changes/'turkey baster things up' in the axies tank daily if need be, thanks guys, hope this wasnt too long and boring!!

    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?
