My Axolotl whose now a Juvenile, recently just started having a problem and Idk what to exactly do! Im about to reclean her tank after getting her out of since she recently started having a problem. She keeps floating up somewhat and cant go back down, I have faced something like this before with my brother's fish and if Im correct it means the aquatic creature is constipated or impacted or something. Im not exactly sure, but if any of you guys know plz tell me! Her Water levels are fine, Her Tank looks fine and alot of stuff look fine. So could it possibly be the food Im giving her thats causing this, or what should I do exactly? (Extra Note; should I take her to the vet since some Axolotl owners do that?)
 
My juvenile does this when he has to go poop and usually sinks back down by the end of the day when I notice. If she doesn't go down after a day or two I would try fridging her and see if that helps.
 
Please look into how to cycle a tank, the nitrogen cycle, and the correct diet/axolotl care. The first two things have great guides on fishlore if you can't find one on here
