I hope this doesn't sound competely stupid, but we just got our first Axolotl, Amber, 2 days ago. Do they arch their back really high to poop or is mine just weird? This is all new to me.
She seems to be doing well. She's flicking her gills alot, which may be too much oxygen so we cut down the airstones. Or maybe it's just from changing tanks?
 
"Poop yoga" hahahaha. Good to know.

Yes. Fully cycled tank. All water parameters are perfect. She's really stopped flicking her gills lately so it was either too much oxygen or just being in a new tank or ???
The tank she was in had no airstones.
But, she seems fine now. Although she doesn't swim too much.. or move that much.. she's 6 months old and moves like she's 80.
She's a poop yoga pro though. Lol.

    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?
