Greetings,
in my quest for pretty live plants for my newties I keep running into Java fern. It's pretty much the only plant commonly available in decent condition here in Alaska pet shops.

Will Java fern be able to grow in a cold water newt tank? Water is about 60 F in summer and about 50 F during fall/winter...

cheers Claudia
 
Java fern is actually one of the best plants for caudate aquariums. It thrives with low light, perfectly tolerates colder temps, and as a plus, females of many species find the leaves perfect for egg deposition.

    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.
