I have some spotted salamander larvae that are around 7 weeks old. I’ll be gone for about 10 days and was wondering if they’d be alright if I left a lot black worms in. There’s a filter and I’ve only ever had them on black worms.

Live or frozen?
 
I usually leave frozen in for 15-30 minutes before taking it out, leaving food in there for a while can grow mold, and affect your water parameters.

    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.
