Are barebottom tanks okay?

Barebottom tank or sand are the most preferred substrate types.

Barebottom tanks are by far the easiest to keep clean too.
 
Bare bottom tanks are fine. That's what I use now. If you want, you could add a blue or black towel under your tank on the stand. This adds a cool effect.

Cheers.

Thank you so much,
I just bought my Axies some aquarium sand for their tank and they already look much happier ! :D

Hello,

when you use sand for the bottom, you have a bigger surface for the helpfull nitrification bakteria.
It helps a lot to metabolize the waste.

    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?
