I was wondering if there were any research/articles/forums on tea baths for axolotls outside of when they are sick. As preventative or maintenance? Would it be beneficial to their health and happiness or should only be used when they are sick/injured?
 
black tea can be used as a water tannin, this is normally one bag per ten litres of water, it is questionable as to using tea leaves due to their caffeine content.
it is easy enough to make a tea using almond leaves which is more beneficial.
 
As preventative, a few dead oak leaves in the tank will provide some tannins without any known problematic substances.

    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?
