A semiaquatic moss (now known as a Taxiphyllum sp. , but usually referred to as Vesicularia dubyana) that is popular with aquarium hobbyists for its many benefits in use in the aquarium/paludarium.

Yay, Joseph is back!

I would add to your definition: "Particularly suited to caudate [paludariums] due to its tolerance of low light, tolerance of cold temperatures, and ability to grow across surfaces slightly above the water line."

    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?
