Question: Why are my baby axolotls floating

[katie91]

I have around 30-40 babys hatched a few days ago anyway they diddnt like bbs so i tried bloodworms and they going nutts and eating
anyway some of y babys are floating but still swiming

At a few days old they aren't physically big enough for bloodworms - i6t's probably gas making them float. You need to persevere with the BBS, or maybe baby daphnia.

 

[katie91]

they are over a week old and wont eat bbs

What makes you think they are not eating the BBS? You can usually see the orange colour in thier bellies. Some larvae won't eat for 3 or 4 days after hatching while they absorb thier yolk.
You can also try baby daphnia, microworms, white worms or banana worms if you really think BBS aren't working, but bloodworms are too big for them at this stage.
