I have sand as a substrate and I'm wondering what plants I can use. I know I can use anubias sp and I plan on getting that one but I'm wondering about java ferns, would I be able to get one? No big deal if it won't work with sand just that I really like the look of those too. Or should I just get one?
 
Java fern can be tied to decor, the same as anubias sp. I have several of both in my axolotl tanks and they are all doing fine.

Thank you! I really love the way those ferns look so I'm glad I can get that too. I plan on getting both now. After I read how to take care of them some more. They seem pretty easy to take care of from what I've read about them already.

Java ferns, Wendelov Java ferns, java moss, duck weed, horn wort, marimo moss balls... all of these can be used with axies because they either float or can be anchored to rocks and wood.
 
Oh my, though I'm going to stick with anubias and java fern and probably get a marimo moss ball too. A friend told me that axies like moving those around and I think that would be so cute watching an axie roll them around.

This was after 5 mins of being in the tank. I think he likes it.

    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?
