Live plants for axolotl tank

[Nadine_]

Hey guys,

I set a tank up about a month ago with two axolotls. I have recently been looking to buy some live plants to add to the tank to help with water quality. I found someone selling anubias nana and anubias nana petite online and thought these looked okay. However before I pay and go pick them up, I was curious if these plants looked healthy? The only thing that worried me was the leaves appear to have some white dots on them that I am not sure what they are. Could these be harmful to my axolotls?

They look okay to me. I’ve never had any issues with adding plants, and I have a heavily planted tank. I know this is a late response, so if you already resolved this, here is some more plants you could try: Java fern, any kind of anubias, duckweed/frog bits (floating plants), and of course, mossballs. Be warned: axolotls (or at least my axolotl) loves to bury himself in the plants, chew them, dig them up, uproot them, and basically try to destroy them. They take some work, but are worth it in my opinion!
