Hello everyone! I'm currently on the hunt for a brand that sells black sand that would be safe for an axolotl. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks!

Any aquarium sand should do. I believe brands like Caribsea or National Geographic have it in black!

Pet store sand is safe to use in your tank, it's basically like pool filter sand, only it's a little more expensive because its prewashed and comes in different colors.

    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?
