Hey guys, I may be just freaking out but...
My axolotl, Rosa, is about 9 inches long and kind of on the chubby side, so she hardly swims around. In the middle of the night tonight, though, she woke me up by swimming up for air. Ever since then, she's been swimming, landing on top of her plants, sitting there for a second, then swimming (or walking fast) around some more. Not only is this very unusual for her, she keeps running into the glass, which worries me. It's not frantic swimming, and she's not thrashing or trying to shake something off, but it's like she can't keep still.
Is this just normal, playful behavior or could she have a parasite?
