Hi, its me again, This will hopefully be my last question before I setup a tank for a Spanish ribbed newt.

Ok, so I recently picked up some very fine grade quartz sand and just want to check to see if this kind of sand would be safe. Also wondering how you would rinse it (I read the part of Caudata culture article on substrates where it says how but i'm still a little confused :confused:)

Thanks for any info you may provide. :D
 
Quartz sand is fine...and the best way to rinse it is by filling a bucket 1/4 to 1/2 full of sand and filling the rest of the bucket with water. Stir up the sand and pour our the water that contains all of the stirred up debris. Keep rinsing several times until the water being poured out of the bucket is clear with no debris.

    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?
