Hey everyone! I had real plants in my baby's tank but with the light been dim and him ripping them up, I decided to get fake ones for the tank. I'm just wondering how I should clean them before I put them in there. I'd like to not use chemicals if possible. My friend told me hot water would be fine. Suggestions?

If you want to do live plants, java fern, java moss, marimo moss balls, anubias and duck weed are great. They are low light plants and most can be anchored to rocks and wood with thread instead of planted. Ducked floats so it will also provide shade.

As for fake plants, I've only ever rinsed them in water when I first get them.

    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?
