I have been thinking about putting floating plants in to my axies tank. I am not sure what types to put in though, do you have any ideas?
 
I have Salvinia, and a fair bit of Elodea floating. Duckweed is also a good option.

Salvinia and Duckweed are great for Nitrate removal
 
Amazon frogbit is also good for removing nitrates. I've recently moved to live plants in both my axolotl tanks, and plan to try some frogbit from my fish tanks in my axolotl tanks.
 
Yes I should have mentioned that light is a must for a healthy lasting plants. I use one 14w tube

    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?
