Just wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks to keeping plants at the bottom of the tank. I have a sand bottom and always stick the plants into the sand. Not sure if the axolotl is the cause of then being uprooted or if they're just coming out on their own. Maybe it's just wishful thinking to think I can keep them where I want them. Haha.
 
It is probably the axolotl causing it. I also had trouble keeping plants alive in the sand I use. You can superglue or tie plants to rocks and other decor if you want or keep them free floating.
 
My axie constantly digs up the plants in my sand bottom tank. Come in the room almost every morning to a floating plant. Just a habit as they like to dig to try and find food. I’ve learned to live with it.

That really crushes my dreams of a lovely habitat with perfectly placed plants 😂

    Hello, I’m looking for fire bellied newts that will ship to Ontario, Canada. Are there any captive breeders here? I’ve had many in the past and I’m looking to get a pair for my 12 yr old. I will be the care taker!

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu
