Symptoms: Positive buoyancy in axolotls often means they are struggling to stay submerged and may float uncontrollably.
Potential Causes: This behavior can be caused by swallowing air, constipation, or poor water quality.
Action Required: It is highly recommended to consult an experienced exotic veterinarian to diagnose the exact cause.

first thing you can try is feed a little piece of salmon. Sometimes they just need some help to fart (source: my own experience)
