I had a little log in with my FTB's and it started to grow mold on it do to the moisture in the tank. I took it out for now. Is the mold harmful to them in any way? What can be done to prevent this mold? It grows on the rocks to and the half log hide.

What you need to do is soak the logs in a bucket of water for a few days before putting them in the tank. This should stop the mould from developing.
Is it deffinatly mould as if it grows on the rocks too its more likely to be a moss or algae.

    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?
