I've recently gotten a baby axolotl from my local pet store. He/she is about 2 1/2 inches long, in a 5 gallon tank for now, and eating great. I've done my research and asked friends who have kept axolotls before, and I know that gravel in an axis tank is a death sentence. I was wondering if the super fine "riverbed sand" would be safe for him.
 
You can use fine sand once it gets to about 5 inches.

    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?
