Hello,
Today there are several aquarium suppliers selling melamine sponges (sometimes called the "Magic Eraser") to clean algae from aquariums.
It is said to be perfectly safe for fishes and other invertebrates.
Anyone knows if it is safe for amphibians?
I've used it some times on my Xenopus tank, as they are sturdier animals, with no problem, but haven't proceed yet to use it on the salamander/newt aquariums... anyone have any experience with that?
Thank you

    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?
