My new addiction for aquariums is keeping me busy & I'm trying to create a happy environment for 2 axies in 1 tank
- currently due to size differences they have to be in separate tanks :( but I'm hoping one day they can live together! :)
(Then I can get another one! ;) lol)

I wanted to try a walstad but instead I've just gone for Playsand substrate & most plants are on rock / wood...

It's a work in progress so I'll add more pics as it changes :)

All feedback / ideas / suggestions / problems you can see are welcome :)

It looks awesome! Love it.
How did you get the java moss to stick to the wood? Been trying to create a wall forever, mine doesn't seem to want to anchor itself.

I've wrapped driftwood java moss then overwrapped it with black cotton, it seems to be working :)

I'm planning a moss wall next & have been reading much about creating one..
From what I've seen the mesh cannot be too fine & again it seems you just lay out the java on one sheet of mesh then sandwich it with top mesh then tack stitch fishing line (you don't want cotton disintegrating in the wall - so the permanent option is fishing line).

I love the look of mosses & am about to order a load of different mosses to see how they perform in colder water :)

    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?
