I have plants in most of my newt tanks but the plants don't get the correct amount of light and while they look fine they are slowly dying ..I've kept them in there because they still look fine but some of them have like pieces of fungus i guess from them dying...can they pose a threat to the newts? should i remove them?
 
There's always going to be the odd dead leaf in any planted tank, but large amounts of rotting vegetation will pollute the water pretty quickly. Why not try growing plants that thrive in lower light levels like Java ferns or Java moss? They can be anchored on the bottom or left free floating and are almost bullet proof!

    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?
