So my axie has had a curved tail for a few days, she new and i got her a couple of days ago.

My question is is this a normal natural curved tail or a stressed related curved tail?
im struggling to tell the difference. She is still swimming and walking happily also eating well. Her tail will straighten and then curl randomly.

I have tested my water and the only off thing is Ph, it is about 0.5 out. How can i raise my Ph slightly ?

this is her tail curl

does it ever straighten out??? mine has a bent tail until it starts walking/swimming
was it bending around?? any other signs of stress??
 
Typically when an axolotl is stressed, the tip of the tail will curve, not the whole tail. She is probably just getting adjusted to her new home. She is very cute! :)

    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?
