I have three Axi's in a 200 ltr tank. I am wondering what type of live plants are best to introduce to my tank and if its a good idea at all?

Plants play a role within the Nitrogen cycle, so they are beneficial in that sense, They are also great for Axolotls to hide between creating great coverage, you can design your tank with your plants and create a great atmosphere within your tank.

Just bare in mind that certain plants will require lights for them to grow well. So research your plants decide what your interested in and check what they require to grow!

Hi !

Here is an article about plants and nitrogen forms in aquarium.
Plants don't only uptake nitrate at the end of the nitrification cycle. Most of our aquatic plants prefer uptaking ammonium directly.
