Hi all.
I have some baby Notophthalmus viridescens piaropicola, Eastern spotted newts Florida peninsula subspecies.
I removed them from the tank with their parents. They were actually doing fairly well since I have a larger gravel that they seemed to be hiding in.

I gave some frozen baby brine shrimp and some fish flakes.
Any thoughts on what to feed them in addition?

I started catching planaria at night in small streams and adding them to my tanks. They multiply and larvae will eat the smaller ones

    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.
