I am setting up a new 90 ltr tank and dont want to use stones or sand on the base. I dont like the bare floor either and saw that in a petshop one time they had a green moss/algae floor. Is it possible to do it with live moss and if so what type would be suitable?
 
I assume you mean an aquatic setup? Algae will eventually cover the bottom anywhere that gets some light. I've never seen any moss that would grow directly on the glass floor under water.

I've done some experiments with glued-down substrates consisting of dark silicone caulk with gravel or coco-fiber stuck to it. This works well I think.

    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?
