Hi everyone. I have about 15 axolotles that are starting to grow their front legs. They ate yesterday and today I changed their water and separated them from the smaller ones. Never had a problem changing water.

Now I have 3 that are swimming, lunging, but will turn upside down... Then repeat.

I have 1 that swims in circles like it's a dog catching it's tail.

I'm concerned... What do you think is happening? Thanks
 
It's normal to have genetically weak individuals in a large bunch like amphibians lay. In the wild, they would be eaten by others. It's the way of nature.

    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?
