Why is it better to put sand to axies than rocks?
Whit aquarium frogs the rocks are better, sand can cause bowel blockage to frongs, so why not to axies?
 
It's the same problem in reverse for axolotls. They can pass sand because it is fine, but rocks and gravel can cause blockages.

But they say that rocks don't gause any blockages to frogs, f they are ringht size.
And fine sand gauses blockages bagause it's fine..o.o
I just don't get it..
 
Large rocks that cannot be swallowed are fine for axies, the disadvantage is one of cleaning, Axies are very messy and rocks can accumulate debris, uneaten food and faeces underneath them, making cleaning a more ardous task. Sand will not cause blockages as it's small enough to pass through the axie and it's easier to keep clean with a syphon or turkey baster.

    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?
