Can't find the thread--Plant substrate that's lotl safe?

I don't recall where that thread is but I asked about it and was told that was one of the best substrate to use with a planted set-up.
I am going to sit down and search for that post.:smile::smile:
 
I use the carib sea eco complete planted tank substrate and have not had any issues with it. My plants and Axos are doing great with it. I would just make sure you get the fine grade black which is 2mm or less and you will not have to have sand on top. I added some white sand to mine just to add some contrast. You can see some pics on the 2014 calendar thread. The pics by Joshua Morehouse with the two albinos.
 
Here is a more recent pic of my set up. I added more white but I liked it better when it was darker but it has not fully been mixed in yet as you can see the layer. So it will darken up more as time goes on.

    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?
