I've had two axolotls for a year now. About two months ago they were moved into a larger tank. We had a little trouble with filtration at first but it has since been resolved. Their temperature maintains around 64 °F. Since then one of my axolotls has drastically lost weight. She never seems to eat. She spends a lot of time floating at the top of the tank. Her front arms are tucked upward and her entire body is curved in a c shape. She almost never uses her front arms. I attached pictures of her. I'm hoping someone can give me insight into what is going on with her.

    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?
