I recently (yesterday)moved my juvenile axolotl into his cycled(finally) 10 gallon tank. The water flow is almost none and he isnt being moved around at all. Ammonia 0, Nitrites 0, Nitrates 5. Everything should be fine but his gills are curved more than I have ever seen them. It is slightly more than straight up and down. What should I do? Am I doing something wrong or is this just new tank stress. His tank is bare bottom at the moment but Im gonna get sand when he gets bigger.
 
I think it could just be the stress of a new environment. This was 3 weeks ago, has anything changed?

    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?
