No, he's not dead... but his back end seems to be more buoyant than the front end. I was wondering if this has to do with the oxygen level in the water, or maybe he just has to fart. Any ideas would be helpful.
 
It is not normal anyway.

But without any info I can't help.
Temperature?
ammonia,nitrite,nitrate?
pebbles/sand/barbottom?
food?
other animals in tank?
plants?
 
You describe it as being fatter in the back end, pear like shaped i guess. That´s probably a female full of eggs.

Not normal.
He could be sick, it would help if you post the information grunsven mentioned, a photo is handy for diagnosis as 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?
