Hi everyone,

I have 2 firebelly newts, a male and female. This week I noticed my female swimming a little odd, as if her equilibrium was off. Her hind legs/back part of her body seem to float upwards.

I feel this is quite urgent as she has never done this before and now its been almost 3 days. I did alot of reading in the forum and I saw some posts about swallowing air or taking more time to digest a warm...

I checked water conditions but everything is fine there.

Anyhow would really appreciate your opinions on the matter so I can ensure to care for her properly.

Thank you all in advance!

    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?
