I recently moved home from college with my axolotl and had to put new sand in his tank. The sand made the water super cloudy. I’ve currently got my axolotl in a bucket with his tank water and air conditioner. I was wondering if he can go in his tank with the sand not settled yet. Also is he safe to leave in there bucket until the tank settles. Here’s a photo of the tank currently. I’ve got his clear tank water to add back to the tank still.

Sand needs washing to remove the fine particles, your going to learn this the hard way unfortunately. Remove the sand, put it in a bucket , place a hose in the bottom and run it till its clear. It can take ages. You can buy prewashed sand for aquariums.

    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?
