Hi, I've just recently upgraded my tank to a 3ft one So Wynter and Pearce now have much much more space ^^
Although i have noticed that on occasion, Wynter starts to swim into a corner, almost like she's trying to push herself through the glass.....Is this behaviour something weird?? Is there anything wrong with her??
 
I believe that's fairly normal behaviour for an axolotl in a new home: exploring, finding the 'edges of the world;' hopefully someone with more experience can confirm that for you, though!
 
My axolotls do this kind of thing all the time. They often decide to go for a swim along the glass at the front of the tank and just keep swimming till they bang into the other side, heh. They tend to like to dig around in the corners as well.

Should be nothing to worry about unless she looks seriously visibly stressed out (curled gills/tail).

    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?
