My axolotl stays on his back all the time. Once in awhile he tries to swim, it looks like or maybe he's trying to turn over but can't. He's only around 2 inches long and has been that length for 6-7 months. He has no trouble with constipation because we feed him small pieces of krill and it keeps him cleaned out so it's not air bubbles or anything due to constipation. He just simply can't or doesn't turn over and I'm worried about him. Should I be?
 
Ive never seen an axie on his back :/ and you say hes been 2" for 7 months? Im afraid it doesnt sound normal to me.
Have you tried feeding other things such as bloodworm or daphnia?

    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?
