Hey everyone I just bought a new 20 Gallon Long tank for my axie and he seemed to be getting well acquainted to his new home. After a few hours, I walked into my room and turned on the light and noticed him floating vertically towards the top near the filter. I walked up to the tank thinking there was something horribly wrong and he instantly swam really fast into his hide. Now he's just moving around the tank not floating anymore but I'll notice every few minutes his tail will curl up a bit. Could this just be stress from being moved into a new tank?
 
They are generally stressed when moved. Just give him some time to calm down.
 
Thanks! I was figuring that he was stressed from the move. I just wanted to see what anyone else thought

    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?
