Hi about 3 weeks ago one of my baby axolotls jumped out of his tub 
. i am not sure ho long he was out, it could have been 3 hrs maximum.
I thought he was dead but when i carefully lifted him up he moved so i put him straight back into the tub. he was bent for a day (from his bottom) the whole of his tail was bent. after about 12 hours he straightened out and was eating fine etc.
occasionally he is now swimming in circles upover. by that i mean he is swimming in an almost perfect circle and when he gets to the top of the circle he is upside down. last night when i went to feed him he was floating upside down at the top of the tank, i had to touch him 3 times before he swam away quite annoyed!
other than that as i say he is eating and pooping fine. no fungus or sores, no flicking or darting around.
Should i fridge him? could it be an air bubble? to be honest i didnt think he would have survived his dive from the tub
Any help much appreciated thanks xxx
