I've seen that people use calcium sand for reptiles and such...
so I was wondering if calcium sand is also safe for axolotl tanks?



Thanks :)
 
It would not be safe to use a whole layer of it on the bottom of the tank. It will tend to raise the pH, potentially excessively. It can be a useful additive for people who have problems with their aquarium water pH dropping too much. A handful of calci-sand in the filter will moderate the pH.

    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?
