Hey just wondering what substrate everyone uses in their axie tanks... I’ve tried many things but my axies never seem happy with it.. the only thing they were happy with were pebbles which I know is a HUGE no no... help
 
I use silica sand and they really like it although it's hard to keep. You can have no substrate and they will be fine.
 
We use swimming pool filter sand, it’s very inexpensive and clean out of the bag. I was always told that no substrate is hard on their pads and can cause them to struggle a little.

    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?
