My fire belly newt larvae have been unable to use their limbs lately and have just been laying on their backs - small
Shollow tank used, with hiding spaces. Water is changed daily and tap safe is used. They are red daphnia and copepods and seek to do well wiht those two. Any ideas??
 
They may be ingesting air, I noticed similar problems with my larvae and I was able to fix it by transferring the ones who ingested air to a shallow container with lots of plants in it.

    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?
