ive recently noticed that my two fire belly newts are looking very dry and dont seem to go in the water as much

i have had them since august last year and they have allways been very healthy looking and wet and allways in the water, but just recently ive noticed them acting different.

any ideas?

thanks
 
A water quailty issue comes to mind. Might aswell check it just in case.
 
Do they have any tankmates? Are they plump and eating well?
 
thanks for your posts
i have cleaned their tank out
and yes, there is two of them and they are eating very well
i came down this morning and they were in the water swimming around and looking much better
i think it was water quality.
thanks for your help

    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?
