i have had 2 newts(c. orientalis- chinese firebelly) for years in a 10 gallon tank. i recently(1week) purchased 2 more at a petland...i noticed one of the newts had a front toe that seemed to be rotting off. it did not seem to be getting anyworse. THEN, after being away from my newts for less 24 hours, the new newt i thought was healthy was dead and swollen at the mouth and the one with teh rotting toe has his entire front limb had completely disappeared. It looks like there is a white film over it. what do i do? help? please
 
thnks. i saw that article, i was hoping someone had something encouraging to say or maybe a tip or hint.
 
my 1 of my first newts died of that. its legs seemed to rot. the poor thing died days later
 
the best solution is to put a sprinkling of the powder found in spectogram (aquatronics fish medicine) enough to season the water. It should turn to a yellow color. This should solve the bacterial problems and stop the disease. One of mine lost a leg to this, but it since has regenerated and he has small fingers growing (about 6 months time) any other questions, brianjolney@hotmail.com
