okay so for the last couple of nights my axolotls just after sun set have lifter there tail up. looks rlly weird and funny not sure if i should be worried or not. they are not floating or anything they act normal until sunset.

i guess my question is what r they doing? has anyone ever seen this? should i be worried?

Do you find poos in the morning? My guess would be that her back end is floating because she has to poo and gets gassy. Mine always get a little floaty when they're about to leave a mess :p

lol my girl did this pose last night, and I immediately thought of this thread :)
I had never seen her do that pose before. I think she is secretly reading my screen when I'm not looking :p

    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?
