Hello, hoping to get a little help without sounding stupid hopefully.
I am looking to get some live plants for my axolotl set up. What plants are good for them?
And also, what will this do to my cycle if anything ?
Should I introduce live plants slowly? Tub my axie? Etc. He's only ever had plastic ones and I don't want to crash the cycle or anything by doing this.
Thank you.
 
plants won't harm the cycle and will help remove nitrates, most pond plants are quite happy in axolotl tanks ie.. hornwort, duckweed etc.. also some plants that are used in tropical tanks ie.. java, anubias etc.. dont get any plants that require high amounts of light, co2, or fertiliser.

    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?
