I have had my axolotl for a couple of weeks now, but just today she started to float to the top of the tank, she would just swim around trying to stay at the bottom, I put her in some cold shallow water to see if she could get the bubble out, but it doesn't seem to of worked. Please Help!

Is she still floating? Sometimes they just need to "fart " it out. ..

    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?
