any one ever come across whatever could be used in emergencies when the power supply is cut off and the air pump stops?
 
Hello Dewy,
I am not sure what is available in England however in the US battery powered air pumps are usually easy to find. If what you are keeping does not have gills then a short power outage will most likely do no harm, although you may have to do some partial water changes if the outage is extensive. In terms of a potential power outage, I am worrying more about the AC going out during one of our eastern US summer heat waves, given that for the time being my animals will no longer be housed in a basement.

    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?
