This morning my new Andersoni arrived! Besides the information I received from the breeder, there really aren’t any other references or information I’ve been able to find out there.. I don’t even know anyone else who has one, they are pretty rare here in the US. I just want to get some other opinions and make sure that I am doing what’s best for him/her. I’m mostly concerned about the proper water conditions but any other information/tips would be super helpful!

you could make some big cash if you get two of them and start breeding them. Their care are almost identical to that of an axolotl from what I've heard
 
They need a higher ph. They metabolize 2x as rapidly and respirate 2x as often. Theyre more aware of their surroundings. I keep mine in rodi and holtfreter's at a ph of 7.8-8 and gh of 12° but i also joined looking for more information.

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
