I have never seen my axie do this before but today he just started kicking at both sets of gills and kinda thrashing around and gave me quite a scare. I just did a water change so all parameters are correct but the temp is a little high rn due to how hot it is in ga right now. tank it sitting at about 71. I don't want to give him a salt bath unless absolutely needed but i also have no idea where to start on a salt bath for my axie.

I just need some second opinions.
 
Did you happen to forget dechlorinator?

    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?
