So this weekend I have been very busy tiling the bottom of my Axie tank

Here is a little preview :)
It doesn't look that great because it still needs all of the decorations and stuff.

I also took thin tubing (The tubing that you put on airstones), and i siliconed it around the tank so that you cant see it and so that the airstones don't have random piping in the tank (Does this make sense?)

And I siliconed the plant cups down so that when i buy new plants - I can just put them in there and the Axolots can't knock them over :)

Its still messy and I need to clean up the excess silicone

Let me know what you guys think!
PS - the tiles are all the same size - doesn't look like it in the picture though

Nice work! Wanna tile my tank? :D
Don't you just love how we spoil our little brats? Yay for spoiled axies! Sorry, I got excited again.

Hahaha it took me a good few hours to do. I added the water last night, and some normal fish to make sure everything is okay before I add the Axies. By normal fish I mean guppies :) Im sure everything will be perfect though

I'll take some more pictures tonight :)

    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?
