My axie has seemed unusually sluggish/inactive, i noticed when i woke up, so it hasn't been long, but i wanted to make a post about because im feeling concerned. My axie, Neo, is normally very active, but today she spent the whole day in one of her hiding places. Her lights have never been changed, so i dont think its a lighting issue. Only when i put my hand in there (i move her out of the tank when changing her water so i dont bump her around, because movement makes her skiddish) did she start moving, and she seemed awfully slow for her.
Any ideas or answers would be GREATLY appreciated, feel free to ask me any questions you need to.

EDIT: i have tried using a large fan in front of the tank to liwer it's tempature, somebody suggested the temp was too high. She will move now, but still very slow for her.

    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?
