1 have a 48inch long x 14inch wide x 12inch deep tank with 3 axies already, would this size be able to handle a 4th axie. at the moment its got about 133litres of water but i can fill it up another foot but dont think i need to.
 
I don't think it would be a problem. I have 5 in a 48 inch aquarium.
 
thanks joan, yeah i got a 4th axie from a customer who couldnt look after him, but he fits into the tank okay and they all seem to be getting along,
 
would 3 be comfortable in a 2 and a half foot or would I be lookin at 3foot or bigger. I have 2 and dont need or really want another, just curious
 
3 in a 2.5 footer would be the top end of the bell curve, as long as you had small axies. You would have more space to put in appropriate sized hides in a 3 foot tank.

Remember that the key to buying a tank is footprint size, not necessarily water column size. Axies are bottom dwellers, and they won't appreciate the benefits of having a tall tank as opposed to a long tank.

    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?
