I came out this morning to find not much water in the tank and a lot of water on the floor, I quickly got my axis into water, and they are all still moving, but mostly just floating or sitting there. I'm terrified for them and feel horrible. Other than water and food is there anything I can, do to help them heal?
 
They'll be fine, probably just a bit stressed from what happened. They have lungs so they can survive even completely out of water for a little while. Just make sure the water is clean and cool.
 
No, I don't think there's any need for that. Just let them be in their own tank in familiar surroundings.
 
I had similar problem happen to me once. just replace the tank with almost same housing layout, put them back into water, they were fine and eating well.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    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?
