Got theses at my local dollar store when we went in today. I will soak in water and such, and they are a little bigger or the same size as her head. I’m assuming they are axolotl safe.

Oh I don't think those would be safe at all. To me, those seem like a major problem, especially if they're a dollar store one. You don't know if they're gonna break apart quickly. The moss my float around and irritate their gills. And I have seen a video of vet removing a stone almost the size of an axolotls head, it was stuck in their mouth. Really sad so I wouldn't do it unless it's at least twice the size of your axolotl's head.

they’re faux, not real, so i don’t believe that’d be good to put in your tank :(
Okay thank you! I didn’t really think it would work at all but I figured u might as well pick them up!
 
Is there an ingredient list on it, somewhere?
Plenty of plastic products are aquarium safe (but plenty aren't), so you'd have to know what it's made of.

    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?
