So slight update, I have these tiny white jumpy things in the water, I did some looking and it seems they might be springtails or something?
I also have this web-like stuff covering the plants adn things I tried picking some up but it just breaks apart, seems like a mucous or something from the java fern.
Should I be worried about any of these?
Regards
 
The jumpy things are probably a good sign; your water is good enough to keep them alive. If they are *in* the water, they are probably daphnia or copepods. See
Caudata Culture Articles - Aquarium Invaders: Photographs

I would recommend removing the webby stuff - siphon or basting bulb. It may be harmless, so just remove it and see if it comes back or not.

    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?
