Anyone use black slate tiles from Home Depot/Lowes in their tank?

Just trying to find the bottom I want in the end. I've been eyeballing this one as the consumer reviews all state it is natural slate.

I assume the basic boiling, soaking, and etc to get it ready for a tank + cutting it down to fit in the tank w/o wall scraping. Just curious if anyone one else has done it.

(pics please if you have and testimonials!)

Looks fine to me, just avoid pieces with any red/orange/brown veins in them, these are iron deposits that could leach into the water and cause liver problems in the long run.

    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?
