Lately my axolotl has been standing on his hands and floating mid-water grabbing one of the plants. Is this normal behavior??
 
My axie's back legs sometimes float up while his front legs stay on the bottom of the tank and usually when he's about to pass waste or just a bit gassy.
 
This is know as 'floaty bum syndrome' and is usually caused by gas or constipation. It usually passes when they poop.

Or it could just be your axie likes it.
 
In that case, your axie probably just enjoys it. My lotl is forever hanging off his plants, balancing on various random limbs in the oddest positions. I think he just likes being weird.
 
Yes, my one axolotl is also forever contorting herself into weird positions in strange locations in the tank.

Axolotls are weird.

Weird animal, or weirdest animal? :)
