Okay, my axolotl is floating. Every time he swims down, his front end floats him back up. So I've put him on one of the plant, but what else can I do? What is it? Just really worried!!!!!:confused: The tank temperature is fine, his stomach doesn't look overly big does it?

What are the water conditions, has he stopped eating? What are you feeding him?
And his belly seems fine to me, mine has the same size and he is not floating.

Maybe he has air in his tummy. Put him in a container with shallow water, so that it's covering his back and that he's able to stand on the bottom. Just to be sure he won't end up stressed.

You can fridge your axie to see if he poops out anything unusual.

What kind of substrate are you using?

The Water Is Good, As I Do 20% Water Changes Everyday... The Tempreture was above the usual amount last night but i brought it back down.. I Have Large Pebbles On The Ground, And They Eat Blood Worms...

    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?
