Does anyone have any sources on good plants for an axolotl tank at a lower price? I love the look of a nice heavily planted tank so I have been trying to find reputable sources. I am looking for the hardiest variety I can get since I am new to aquarium care and moss balls since I really like the look of them but most of the ones I have seen were very tiny.

Also does anyone have frogbit in their tank? I heard it can work well in an axolotl tank and I wanted a variety of floating plant.
 
Petco often has huge aquarium and plant sales. Get plants suitable for low light and cool temps. I have duckweed , hornwort, eludea, amazon swords, and java ferns.

I just got a couple of plants from there today since they are the only place near me that doesnt keep fish and snails in with their plants. Unfortunately, they werent on sale ... I didnt know they had aquarium plant sales! I did get two anibius species and some amazon swords though to start.
I heard from somewhere that duckweed can caught caught in your filter which is why I didnt get some earlier and was looking into frogbit. Do you have any problems with it?
 
Yes that can be an issue, i have had duckweed break 2 of my bio wheel filters. They are excellent for sucking up nitrates and they provide good cover but yes you need to make sure they can not get up into your filtration system
