I've had my newt for about a week now and this morning i found her having difficulty staying submerged. She like floats but is active and not bloated. Can anyone help with whatever is wrog?
 
Hello,

Some of mine do the same sometimes. I wonder if that can be related to feed the shrimps with vegetal pap ( it could be a kind of fermentation in their digestive tract), because they also eat some of it (in fact, they eat whatever that drop in the tank). But after a day, all turns normal again.
 
What are you feeding your newt? Does she have an island to climb out on if she wants to?
 
Does she always have this problem? I have one newt that sometimes float and struggles to dive but as he seems to be able sink as well later on I'm not worried.
