The first photo and account.
Photos of Sick Axolotls
And a quick search for "floating butt" on the forums will give you countless threads of people with the same problem.
The axolotl is trying to pass something through his system. Fridge him if it's so severe that he can't swim down. Probably just having a hard time taking a dump.

yea read about fridging etc.but the problem comes and goes daily rather than having a floaty butt all the time...was wondering if these slightly different symptoms meant something else...thanks for your response

Is it a floating rear, or is your axolotl just floating at the surface, just to float near the surface? Many axolotls like to hang out near the surface as the water has more oxygen there.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
