Pink pond

Well while walking through the woods I came across a site rather un-earthly

Upon closer investigation I discovered that this pond was so violently magenta because of the floating plants in it.

Does any one know what these are, and if they can be used with newts?
 
It's an invasive non-indigenous free floating aquatic fern from the genus Azolla.
It's quite harmless to newts in captivity, but as your image shows it chokes all native plants and eventually kills all life in the pond.

    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?
