As in title.
I am hoping to get a leucistic axolotl in future so will need to start swapping out substrate in existing fish tank.
Currently has gravel (obviously not suitable for axolotl!) but was hoping to find a really fine sand substrate, preferably in a darker colour to 'hide' mess/ green and to highlight contrasting colour of a white/pink axolotl.
Also, no idea if this is proven, but I thought a darker colour would help to reduce the overall brightness in the tank as it's less reflective.

I've seen a few online but was hoping for recommendations - don't want to mess up before I even have the animal!

Thanks :)

    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?
