Today I completed: 1) first time deep cleaning my tank and performing a big water change. 2)moving my axolotl from his tank (and back into it) for the first time. and 3) rearranged his tank. I don't know if anyone cares at all, but it was a lot of work and a great feeling of accomplishment at the end of it so I wanted to share my success! have a fabulous day!
Sorry for the late response! Yes, mine is a bare bottom tank. I wanted to do sand because I thought it looked nice but the maintenance sounded like a LOT! I'm glad I didn't do sand though!

I bet - sand can be a nightmare - but I have found that a lot of the dirt simply sits on top of it.
Although, I do find it rather frustrating at times! I really like the tanks full of java moss to be quite honest - but this seems to be taking DECADES to grow!
Sand also I find gets on everything! I am forever pulling out plants, cave hides, rocks etc.

Also where did you keep your axi when doing a deep clean - as this is something I am thinking of doing. We are looking at moving the tank upstairs and I thought why not do a deep clean in the process!

I just guided him into a small tupperware plastic container (he's still pretty small so this was no problem for me) and placed a lid on top so he couldn't jump out. when I clean it again, I'll probably be doing a full tank upgrade, so next time I'd probably just keep him in the extra aquarium
Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
