He's beautiful :)
I love wildtypes :D
However, there are some pebbles in your tank with that could be small enough to be swallowed by your axie... I think it would be best to remove them and go for bare bottom or sand!

Absolutely gorgeous :happy: You should be very proud heehee!!

But like Tess mentioned, i'd remove any small pebbles as he could swallow them and cause some harm to himself. But happy hunting for some sand :happy: Just make sure to give it a good rinse before adding it to the tank, as it'll make your water cloudy. But other than that a stunning axolotl :D x

You can get sand on eBay, if you have trouble finding it locally ;)
To agree with the others though, you'd be better off removing the gravel / stones now + having a bare bottomed tank whilst you hunt for sand. That way you're avoiding any possibility of disaster during your search. Better safe than sorry, e.t.c. ;)

You can also use playsand for a sandbox, it's usually a lot cheaper than the stuff at the pet store. Just make sure to rinse it out well

Tesco are doing an offer on play-sand at the moment - 2 10kg bags for £4. I have 2 bags sat in the hallway for when I can be bothered to pick up my new tank.

    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?
