Wow, beautiful tank - can I ask what you've got growing on the floor ?

Jealous now - looks at plain tank and frowns :sad:
 
The plants look great! Do you use plant fertilizer?
 
I just love the aquarium and as stated it is very inspiring. I hope that fish arnt a solid diet for your little guys as they are not very nutritious and often carry diseases.
 
Frogman speaks the truth. I love giving Godric fish every now and again as a treat, but they can carry parasites at times, so I'm waiting until I have a free tank so I can start keeping some feeder guppies/minnows of my own.

You tank is VERY beautiful, but I'm a little concerned at the pebbles that are directly below the greenery. They're small enough for the axolotls to accidentally eat, and they look sharp which means they could be even more difficult or dangerous to pass through the digestive system. It's generally a golden rule not to have axies on gravel or small rocks because they occasionally like to take a bite out of everything.

But your tank is seriously awesome. They must LOVE all the hidey holes they get from the plants!


Also, I just noticed the snails. I think there's a bit of mixed opinion on whether or not they're ok to keep with axies, but I think there's a similar concern with the gravel; if an axolotl eats one it might not be able to pass the shell. See what other members think about it.

    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?
