I have been working on moving my axies to the basement, while they have not made it there yet progress is being made, well was being made until i sprung a leak.

The next stage after the leak is fixed is to figure out the bottom and the plants.

The tanks they are currently in are mainly bare bottom with a few peices of slate here and there. Is this ok? Or would I be better off with more pieces of slate/ rock and covering the whole bottom?

And one plant question - The final tanks for the axies is going to be dark and only recieving about 4-6 hours a day of low light. Is there any kinds of plants I am going to be able to grow in their tank? Or am I going to have to add some kind of other lighting if I want to do plants?

    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?
