I have noticed that my axie, Gilly, keeps going to the top off his tank for air, Is this normal?

I have had him a little over a week and as I hadnt pre-cycled the tank I am doing 20% daily water changes (I plan to get some tester kits in the next fews days). There is a filter and an airstone in his tank, hes eating well and doesnt seem to have any other problems.
 
How often does he do it?
A lot of axolotl do it simply because they enjoy doing so.
However, very regularly could show a problem in your tank - get the liquid tests rather than the strips - they're far more accurate/reliable.

Let us have the readings ASAP.
 
I have caught him a couple of times so far today doing it. Thanks for the tip on the test kits too Amber.

    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?
