Hello axie lovers!!!!! I just wonder if the Red fluorite Seachem is suitable as a substrate for adult axies....... how often they develop impaction with this kind of substrate? this just helps a lot in the growth of plants, so I would like you to share your experience .... sorry if my English falls. Thank You !!!

I don't know how often axolotls develop impaction from this type of substrate, but since it is a gravel, it is best to avoid using it where they could eat it. You could use it in flower pots under a layer of sand, and have the pots in the tank.

Ok, Thank youu LSuzuki for your advice, I'll use sand and try to design a nice bed of plants in pots. The axolotl planted tank is a challenge.

    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?
