Question: Why are my baby axies swimming in circles?

Most of my axolotl eggs hatched about 8 days ago, the rest around 5 or 6 days ago. About 10% of my babies are curled up and only swim in little spirals. I was hoping they would straighten out, but they haven't so far. Is there any thing I can do about this? Does anyone know what may have caused it?

There probably spinners, they generally don't make it, nothing you can do other than cull or let nature take its course.

Point taken, let me try again.....

Jonjey, advice in this form should be accurate and not sugar coated.

    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?
