I was thinking about gem stones for the floor. They are kind flat but round shape, like a donut without the hole and come in different colors. Or is that what you mean by marbles?

They'll be too small; you'll risk your axolotls accidentally swallowing one.

You could silicone them to the bottom of the tank and make a 'cobblestone' floor out of them?

Of course you be showing off here right?

I saw you post in the sell/trade section, do you have Lucy axolotl often? I was 2 when I get my 29 gal tank going. Running test on bucket of water right now to make sure I can keep them at the right temp. Tomorrow will be 90F degrees, so it is perfect time to see if it is possible.

Please let me know if you have often. Thanks!:happy:

    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?
