GH a little on the higher end?

The KH looks fine, if I recall correctly, 3-8 is desired, and I have 6 degrees.
The GH is a bit above the desired range, specifically, 16 degrees, whereas 7-14 is desired.
Every other parameter is fine (ph is approx 7.4-7.8, ammonia near 0.00, nitrite 0.00, nitrate ~5-10 ppm, temp is also consistently 16.0 -16.5 C). Is this slightly elevated GH not that big of a concern, or should I drop everything and get some gallons of distilled water ASAP?

    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?
