The Best option would be a substrate designed for plants.

Plant specific substrate
A solution is to use a plant-specific substrate, such as Flora Base, by Red Sea, which is especially designed for supporting plant growth. It has the following benefits:
  • It's small and soft so no impaction risk.
  • It doesn't adversely alter the water chemistry.
  • It's easy for rooted plants to get established in.
  • It contains nutrients for plant growth.
  • It doesn’t contain toxic substances.

    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?
