OK I started with a nice lot of java moss. Its in a well-lit tank with a filter. It seems healthy, but it never grows and appears to be disappearing...no snails in the tank. My only idea is that its being suckied into the filter, but I don't see any when the filter is washed...

In most circumstances, this is a very slow growing plant. How long have you had it Chris? And what's the temperatute in the tank (grows best around 20C).
 
Java moss is a slow starter for me, I had the same problem but then a couple of weeks later java moss where everywhere ;)
Patience!

Ahhh its about 24 in there. It used to grow like wildfire, but it seems to be reducing itself, though looking hewalthy

I am not sure I agree, I keep mine at 20C just like Alan. But I have heard that 20C is minimum for this tropical plant. Optimal range is supposed to be 20-28C.

    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?
