I was just sitting on my comp and heard this 'oomph' like sound coming from my tank, I turned to see Lottie swimming back down from the surface..

Did she sneeze or is she just a heavy air-gulper..? Is she sick?? HELP!

My axy does that sometimes and it has been when she has just got air from the top of the water.

Mine also takes an occasional extra-large gulp. Unless it's occurring frequently, or you notice any weird behavior, don't panic!

All my axies are pretty quiet air gulpers, but Xotl always makes a loud gulpy (sometimes "whistling"?) sound...

    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?
