So my Axolotl doesn't seem to like a clear bottom, so what should I replace it with? Granite aint good cause, I heard Axolotls tend to eat that which causes digestive problems, which is why I went with a clear bottom

Axolotl are fine on a bare bottom, as long as you wipe it a couple times a week to prevent a bacterial build up. Sand is an alternate, just make sure its prewashed other wise its a pain to wash yourself.

    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?
