What's the safest black sand I can use in an axolotl tank? I would prefer sand that could allow plant growth, too. Thanks!
 
Petco brand black sand! I love mine, minimal rinsing and it looks great and I do have plants in it in a different tank with no axies and they grow great.
 
The fish group I'm in uses black sand blasting sand. They get it from home improvement stores, for like 7$for 50 lbs. I've never used it though, but it is something to look into if you need a lot of sand for cheap.
 
I was looking into black Tahitian sand but I read too many negative things about it. I went with white sand instead, the same fine sand I use for my Corydoras, since I trust it.

    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?
