Moss fern

Has anyone used this type of fern for their vivaria? i jsut got mine from walmart. I am planning on using it and some golden pothos for an aquaterrarium for some cynops orientalis or possible a breeding par of red eyed tree frogs (either one or the other, not both at the same time!)Any suggestions on how to promote its vigorous growth or comments greatly appreciated!

when i used to breed redeyes i used a lot of caletha plants. I liked them because they were very sturdy and leaves supported the weight of the females. you can usually find them at homedepots and lowes.

i like pothos for that purpose, if they are generously watered they can support the wiught of the female jsut fine, by the way i found out the scientific name of the plant, selaginella

Different selaginellas have different growth requirements but it usually works well as a ground cover in moist situations.

I use spathaphyllums when I breed red eyes.

    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?
