So I got some lovely slate tiles to make into a hide in my Axolotl tank today, but the seller wrote on one tile in permanent marker D< Which I'm a little mad about, but he couldn't have known I was using it in a fish tank... sigh.

So question being, obviously I don't want to put the marker in my tank, but is there any way I could get it off? I have nail polish remover on hand (acetone) but would that clean off the tile afterwards and be safe to put in my tank?

Anything else I could do to get the marker off? Or should I just harass the seller for a clean tile?

Weird question to ask but I dunno what to do.
 
Just scrubbing with water and something textured or a papertowel usually works for me, but it can take a while sometimes
 
Acetone evaporates quickly and so just leave it for an hour, rinse and you're good to go

Just make sure you get plain old cheap nail varnish remover and not the 'gentle' or 'conditioning' stuff.

    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?
