With a fine sand substrate and one axie in a 20L tank, what plants would be okay to put in there? Real or fake?

The main issues with axolotl tanks that are planted are the cold temperatures. I run a low light, low-tech twenty gallon long tank at the moment. My tank: P.H 7.6, Temperature: 68-70. I use Black Diamond Blasting Sand with 20/40 grit as my substrate, it has pretty much no nutrients in it. Your axolotl should fertilize most of the plants for you. Just make sure to keep up with water changes. The low light means that your plants are not going to have very much growth but they will survive.The only other issue is that plants that are rooted in the ground are going to be uprooted at times by the axolotl. Hope I helped.
The plants I have in my tank
Java Moss(Vesicularia dubyana)
Banana Plant(Nymphoides aquatica)
Cryptocorynes(Cryptocoryne parva)
Moneywort(Bacopa monnieri)
Dwarf Hygro(Hygrophila polysperma)
Dwarf Sagitaria (Sagittaria subulata)
Marimo Moss Ball (Aegagropila linnaei)

    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?
