Hi,

it has a problem, they don't develop the limbs.

Wow, that´s strange.
Apart from the obvious limb deformities, the colour in the back is clearly distorted, which makes me think that perhaps at least part of the problem might be neurologically related, although that´s pure speculation. It could also be a congenital disorder akin to human´s phocolemia.
 
this is another larva of dobrogicus, it still has the gills.

I would euthanize that first larva. It looks like a genetical error.
 
Or you can make sure he doesn't take part of any reproduction if his condition doesn't seem to bother him. I don't know how many room and how many animals you've got, but you could put it in a seperate tank.
 
yes! I agree with Niels D, I will leave him/it in an alone container, so that doesn't reproduce.
 
the parents were my. is it possible that they were brothers and from the joining there has been a genetic error?
