Any live plants I can put in my axolotl 40B tank? I know not much can thrive. I had some moss balls, but they all fell apart. I have a bare bottom tank. Just wondering if anyone has had luck with live plants in their tank.

Absolutely! I'll link the source I use when deciding on plants https://www.caudata.org/axolotl-sanctuary/Aquascape.shtml
I've had success with java fern and moss, lilaeopsis and moss balls in the past. I've had hairgrass but it didn't take. Currently I've added wisteria and banana lillies which are surviving (the banana lily is growing really well). I've heard people also using hornwort.
Since you don't have substrate I'd recommend java fern and anubias as they can be tied to decorations. The wisteria I have is floating on the top because my axies keep ripping it out of the sand and it hasn't died yet haha. You can also buy little pots and plant some which need substrate into the pots!
Hope this helps :)

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
