I'm gonna change the floor of my baby axoltl's tank as I dont like it in fact I hate it so I was wondering if I should get fine sand or small stones???
 
small stones (gravel) are a definite NO-NO because your axie can swallow them, getting impacted and die.

Sand is the best substrate for axies, just be sure the granules are smaller than 2mm in diameter.
:) And wash THOROUGHLY before use :D
 
With axolotls under 10ish cm, I wouldn't use any substrate at all. It's easier to monitor their ins and outs that way.

I would agree having a bare as possible tank with lil guys makes it way easy to monitor food and 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?
