Yesterday I was very sick, but still took care of Smoki, Mochi, and Toothless. When I went to bed (around 12am-1am ish) I checked their water it was at 59-60°, cleaned it out, and check their temperature again and stayed at the same temperature. I wake up next thing you know their were a ton of air bubbles, the water was at 76° and had TWO of the three Axolotls(Mochi and Toothless) swimming on their side. Immediately, I stopped what I was doing and immediately dropped their temperature back down to 58-59° and put both Axolotls in a separate container filled enough where they can stand on all fours(Read some information on this website). My best guess is that they have too much gas as they were gulping for air. Please help! I feel terrible! One of them pooped and it starting to sit upright again. I have to leave today for a few hours so I'm going to have my dad keep an eye on them and give me updates. If its anything else he says he will watch for anything and If he suspects gout or some type of illness he says he will take them and give them antibiotics (Since he's grown up with tons of aquatic animals and currently has them and has the antibiotics) Please help!
I almost took them with me so I can watch them but didn't.
EDIT: I've also dropped the temperatures in my house way down so that way their water stays where it is at
EDIT 2: I think it's gas because when I moved then out of the tank and dropped temps to 58° one pooped again and is sitting more up straight now.
