Luka's tail floats towards the surface!

[lisa]

I just got a golden axie about two weeks ago and tonight his tail is floating towards the surface. His back legs arn't touching the ground at all and he keeps trying to stabalise himself.

Hes only about 10cm long and he sort of sits under one of the plants to keep his bum on the ground.

Does anyone know whats wrong with him?

not sure, but if he seems stressed, place him in a shallower container until the floating stops.

He may need a poo. If you can keep him cool and water lowered in container as Ester says then it might improve his condition.

same thing happened to our Oopa. first he would float on his side then later it was his behind. it eventually went away.
