I've been to two Home Depot's and to Lowes and none of them have slate rock.

Where can I find slate for the bottom of the tank?

You should be able to find what you need at a stone yard- someplace that carries brick, stone, stone veneer, etc.
Other places that will have it:
-Garden center stores that specialize in landscaping, plants, renting out gardening tools.
-Aquarium/fish stores often sell slate for decoration, although they tend to charge a little more than garden centers.
Home Depot and generalist home improvement stores tend to only carry some things seasonally.
Good luck.

I bought mine at Rona, but that is here in Canada. If you do go to a hardware store, sometimes it is with tiles, back-splashes, or even siding. You need to make sure it is JUST natural slate though, no caulking or anything holding it together and no adhesives.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
