Axlolotl the "Walking fish"

Has anyone noticed their axolotl "walking". My older guy likes to "walk". arround 7pm-8pm (feeding time) he paces back and forth arround the tank waiting for me to drop food in. He gets up on his hind legs and walks, like a bipedial animal(hes a tripod, his tail stays on the ground). his front arms flail, sometimes one pushes on the glass a bit but none the less he is walking. I need to take a video of it.

Has anyone witnessed a similar "walking" behavior in their animals?
 
Yup - this is very normal.
That's what they have legs for after all! :D
Spyyk often waddles on her back legs, especially if she thinks there is something interesting happening at the top of the tank.
I'll find a series of pictures of her doing this later for you.

    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?
