I just got an axolotl about one week ago. For the first four days he acted fine, but one night I was not home and the filter turned off, and I was not able to fix it until I got home about 17 hours later. Ever since that night he hasnt been exploring the tank like he usually does, and spends an unusual amount of time near the surface of the tank on top of some floating plants (he NEVER did this before). He also isnt sinking to the bottom all the way... when he trys to walk across the bottom of the tank his hind legs float up in the air. Besides this he is eating, and doesnt seem to display any of the common signs of stress. I am going to clean the tank tonight.
