hi
I have new axolotls and am wondering what is the best medium to put on the bottom of the tank. Right now they have black gravel ( it's the right size) but I don't care for the look. Would river rocks
(too big to eat) be a problem for them?
Thanks
Monica
 
The problem with larger gravel/stones is they can trap uneaten food or fecal matter which will decay and cause problems. You might try mixing just enough sand with your stones to fill in the voids.
 
Hi
Thanks. What kind of sand would you get?

    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?
