does anyone know why her back is curving up like this?? It wasn’t like that last night, I just woke up and checked her and this is how she looked. I’m very concerned because I thought I read something about that on here before.

please check your water parameters ph/ammonia/nitrite/nitrate/temperature, looking at his/her gills and dorsal fin along with the arched back it looks like it is stressed. also make sure the water is oxygenated with a air-stone.

    Hello, I’m looking for fire bellied newts that will ship to Ontario, Canada. Are there any captive breeders here? I’ve had many in the past and I’m looking to get a pair for my 12 yr old. I will be the care taker!
