Axlolotl the "Walking fish"

[annmarie]

Has anyone noticed their axolotl "walking". My older guy likes to "walk". arround 7pm-8pm (feeding time) he paces back and forth arround the tank waiting for me to drop food in. He gets up on his hind legs and walks, like a bipedial animal(hes a tripod, his tail stays on the ground). his front arms flail, sometimes one pushes on the glass a bit but none the less he is walking. I need to take a video of it.

Has anyone witnessed a similar "walking" behavior in their animals?

Yup - this is very normal.
That's what they have legs for after all!
Spyyk often waddles on her back legs, especially if she thinks there is something interesting happening at the top of the tank.
I'll find a series of pictures of her doing this later for you.
