Quartz & obsidian...?

I had an idea for a new display tank for my new axolotls. I was thinking that these golden axos' would look great on black slate.

I also have blue and rose/pink quartz and black obsidian that used to be in a brackish water display tank.

The eel that used to be in there despite winding and rubbing against these rocks never took so much as an abrasion.

Of course axos' are different. What do you guys think? Are those items safe for them?

TIA!

It would depend of the stones. I wouldn't be too worried about the quartz, particularly large crystals, but I'd have some reservations concerning the obsidian.

Considering that some medical surgeons use obsidian blades instead of steel ones, I think I would avoid it. The quartz is fine though, Im sure.

Thanks guys! I really enjoy the way the quartz glows when the lights are on and I've missed that display.

    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?
