Hi
My alpine newt just floats about. Occasionally I see her struggle to the bottom of the tank, but not often. She is usually climbing the glass or just floating.
I thought it was bloat at first but she doesn't seem puffed up.
Could it be poor water quality? I have neocardinia shrimp and they are fine...
What things do I need to look at in order to improve her condition please?
Thanks in advance

Ps ten gallon tank with bog wood, plenty of Java fern and elodea and tonnes of pesky duckweed. Corner filter operated by air pump to give a steady stream of bubbles, not too noisy. Sand substrate.
