I have recently purchased a 2x1x1ft tank and will be moving my adult axolotl into it in the next few weeks. I have some sand but I am looking for an alternative substrate as I feel that the sand would hinder the removal of waste and lead to faster water fouling.
Large stones will be equally annoying to clean and gravel has the high impaction risk.
I notice that some people have used slate (or other) tiles as a better and aesthetically pleasing alternative to a bare bottom tank.
Beyond this I have found relatively cheap cuts of vinyl flooring in various designs that would look good in tank, provide a grippy surface, and be simple to clean. Here as an example of what I would purchase:
DIY Luxury Self Adhesive Vinyl Floor Tiles - Very High Quality : Gerflor Design | eBay
My question is this: Would this contain any chemicals that might put my axolotl at risk, and has anyone done this before?
