Well I knew I'd get around to talking axolotl poop eventually!
Just found a floater in the tank - has anyone come across this before? One of mine has been doing the bum-in-the-air thing half the day, so I'm assuming he passed bubbles in his ppop hence the floating nugget.

I haven't come across floating poop yet! I did however find what could have been a world record for the biggest axolotl poop yesterday. I'm not even kidding, I don't know how something so small passed something that large! :lol:

Still haven't seen anything like that. I'm definitely that type of person who would make a 'hilarious' video of it.

There's no avoiding it!

Could be air, perhaps fatty poop? What's your axies diet?

I'm not worried - I thought it quite amusing really! My axies are on earthworms, with an ocaasional mealworm and some pellets thrown in - so not likely to be fatty poop, probably just air.

    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?
