I hardly doubt anyone will remember me to be honest but I thought I would pop back and say hello!

Basically ever since I got into herps I always wanted some firebelly newts. I've had a fire salamander, Axolotl and two red spotted newts. I really searched everywhere for these guys. A couple of months ago however, I popped into a little fish shop (Tropical Waters in Birmingham if anyone knows it) and I saw labeled (red belly newt) and as I peered into the tank, I see two Fire belly's. I couldn't believe it! Unfortunately I would bet their WC. I picked up two males and have been happy ever since. I'm also looking for a female for a bit of breeding.

Well here they are! Any name suggestions as never thought about it really!

Thanks

P.S picture is quite blurry.

Can't say I've been to the shop, I live too far away. make sure they go through a 'quarantine period' before yo bring any more into the tank, and quarantine any new ones to make sure they don't bring any infections into the tank
 
Hey don't worry I will. Thanks for the reply.

    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.
