On of my male CFBN seems to be floating a little bit. Most times he's ok, but sometimes I see his tail end floating up a little, while he grabs what he can with his front legs, and fans his tail to stay down. This happens for a minute or two at time, then he goes back to being normal. Is this something I should be worried about? The other newts aren't showing any problems
 
sounds like too much air in the water. if you have a bubbler, try turning it off for a week and see what that does. if that doesn't help, turn it back on and try using live or sinking food. hope it helps! :happy:
 
Hey thanks for the response! I do feed live worms at all times, and I didn't have a bubble going at the time tho I do have one now. The newt hasn't stopped floating on occasion but he cures himself with a little burp each time. He's my most active, fastest growing newt so I stopped worrying about him and just let him do his floating thing.
