I live in Columbia, MD (zone 7) and decided to dig a pond in yard to make a amphibian habitat (no fish). What plants should i plant in and around it? I'm hoping it will eventually house newts and toads. I also want o plant a bog garden nearby with a lot of cover and maybe some carnivorous plants. Any help on what plants to use and a source for critters would be great. Thanks!

    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?
