Hi!

so i was thinking of changing my bare bottom tank to a tank with fine sand on the bottom. I've already got my axolotl in the tank and he's been there for about 4 days now. Do you guys think this process would stress him out too much? and if i was to change the bottom to fine sand what would be the easiest way to do it?
 
I would give your new guy a little more time to settle in. But if you decide you do want sand, I would add 1-3 cups and then wait a week. If the water parameters are acceptable at that point, I would add another 1-3 cups. Rinse and repeat until you have as much sand as you want!

I hope your axolotl does well!

    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?
