Those Gills are just amazing. After seeing your hair....maybe they take after you?

Hi there, lovely to see your updatesYou're clearly a very creative person, your axolotls have such wonderful homes!
Gravel is indeed a terrible thing for axolotls. In the UK where I live axolotls are often sold by pet shops who actually RECOMMEND that they be kept on gravel. Most forums suggest that sand is a vast improvement, the grains are too small to cause impaction issues and is just passed out. I have heard of a couple of cases where an axolotl took to eating sand as though it was a hobby and had to be moved onto a bare bottom tank but they are quite unusual cases. Most of the people I know very sensibly keep their axies on a bare bottom or sand substrate.
On a different note, please visit out facebook group Axolotl-Aholics. I know the members would just love to see your pictures!

China does have some of the most extreme censorship in the world...
in fact i think that both facebook and twitter are still completely blocked there!
I think Weibo is the facebook alternative in China, it might be the twitter alternative though, I cant really read whats on the pages hehe
Ive considered putting sand substrate in my tank as well just so I could plant a few java ferns and some other plants
Sand shouldnt be a problem as long as its fine sand and doesnt contain rocks or large pieces, at least from what Ive learned on this site anyway![]()
