With a fine sand substrate and one axie in a 20L tank, what plants would be okay to put in there? Real or fake?
 
The main issues with axolotl tanks that are planted are the cold temperatures. I run a low light, low-tech twenty gallon long tank at the moment. My tank: P.H 7.6, Temperature: 68-70. I use Black Diamond Blasting Sand with 20/40 grit as my substrate, it has pretty much no nutrients in it. Your axolotl should fertilize most of the plants for you. Just make sure to keep up with water changes. The low light means that your plants are not going to have very much growth but they will survive.The only other issue is that plants that are rooted in the ground are going to be uprooted at times by the axolotl. Hope I helped.
The plants I have in my tank
Java Moss(Vesicularia dubyana)
Banana Plant(Nymphoides aquatica)
Cryptocorynes(Cryptocoryne parva)
Moneywort(Bacopa monnieri)
Dwarf Hygro(Hygrophila polysperma)
Dwarf Sagitaria (Sagittaria subulata)
Marimo Moss Ball (Aegagropila linnaei)

    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
