Is Non Toxic PVA glue allriught to use? i know it says non tocic but is that for humans? I making my own ornament and glue would be the quickest and easier option.
Any Other suggestions, it's being made out of bamboo :D

I believe PVA is water soluable, the best thing to use for 'gluing' things in an aquarium is silicone, make sure it's safe for aquariums.

I dont think its too expensive, just make sure you dont get anti fungal silicone stuff. Thats bad for the axies apparently and or the water chemistry i believe. Mel

You should find Ados F2 in Bunnings or any real hardware store, it's a non-leaching, food-safe plumbers glue that is used a lot for spouting joins when the water will be going to a tank for house use.

Let it cure for 72 hours to outgas all solvents and it then passes food safety standards for submerged use in human consumption water systems, so should be safe for the critters in an aquarium as 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?
