I was in my local pet shop earlier on and I was looking for sand for my new axolotl tank. They only had one type of sand but in lots of colours. Quartz sand. I was wondering if it effected the ph at all and if it's okay for axolotls. Thx.

Quartz is inert. It won't affect pH.

Can you post a picture of it? If it's getting too coarse, the risk of impaction is going to be higher than with a finer grained sand....

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
