If you haven’t seen my other thread, my axolotl got a rip in her tail. U wanted to use black tea for tannins, but I don’t have any. I do have a box of pure green tea. Can I still use this?

Green tea has far less tannins than black tea (hence it's lighter in colour and less bitter).
Since tannins are what supposedly is beneficial about tea baths, it seems green tea would be far less effective.

Basically, you'd be putting leaves in your aquarium. It wouldn't hurt much (until they start to decompose, of course) and might even give the water a nice natural look. I doubt it would do much good, either.

    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?
