Thanks so much for those pictures- they are quite inspiring!

As I thought, awesome aquascaping! Those axolotls of yours are also quite awesome!:D

Really well planted. You've gotta be happy with it :)

So do the plants break down most of the axies waste, or do you still have to do some spot cleaning?

Were those two hang on filters I saw in one of the photos? How do you find them?
Is it hard to feed your critters because of all the gaps the food can fall/wriggle into?
Sorry for all the questions, its just that it looks so good like that that I am tempted to do something similar. :) Any tips?

They are both beautiful! If you ever have any offspring, I'd love to hear about it. Their color is amazing! I can do the same for you with my golden, it might be a while though lol! S/he's only four months old haha.

It is hard sometimes feeding them worms with the tweezers some times they slip out and they fall right between the rocks. I have one filter bio 350 marineland filter with some sponges shoved in the outtakes to slow down the water and helps with the bio i suppose, also i have filter u can place how ever much carbon, zeolite crystals what ever i want to place in their for extra cleaning. It is also hard the use the gravel cleaner in their to put price u have to pay with plants everywhere.
I like the moss walls people are building and i thinking of making a coupling to put on the floor instead of the wall with holes cut out for prearranged plants. Just an idea for anyone!

    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?
