Floating babies is usually a sign that they are not being fed enough. If you are feeding baby brine shrimps there are always some brine shrimp that float around on the surface and get eaten by the floating baby axolotls. Once the axolotl has eaten a few they tend to sink to the bottom again. Hope this helps.

    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?
