Hey everyone, I have a small fake bonsai tree I would love to add to my axolotl tank, since the tank is so big and it feels very empty. I am pretty sure it is plastic and I have had it a while but I was wondering if it would be safe for the tank if i cleaned it up and removed the fake leaf trimmings and maybe added a type of moss on top to grow out. Any suggestions or information would be amazing :)

Should be perfectly fine as long as there are no sharp bits! Taking off the plastic leaves and replacing with moss would be lovely, I've seen people do that before in other tanks.

Im hoping i can make it small enough to fit by cutting most of the bottom and making the limbs a bit smaller :) but thank you for the input

    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?
