My baby axolotl can't stay at the bottom of his tank! :(
I'm not sure if he's consitpated or bloated or something else..
I read that baby axolotls can swallow a lot of air which can can cause them to float.
What should I do?
He's in a 15 gallon tank and is eating frozen bloodworms. The tempurature is usually around 17-19 degrees Celcius.
 
How big is your 'baby'? Axies at any age can get gas.

Give it some floating plants, a cork mat or plastic box lid to wedge under, or pur it in a tub with shallow water until it passes (daily water changes in a tub). Feed it normally, it should pass in a few days.
