Is it ok to keep a spotted salamander larvae in a 5 gallon filtered by a sponge filter until it morphs and becomes bigger? It is currently 2 inches long.
 
I'm not really experienced with this exact thing, but I can't imagine for larvae this would be too small. full of water with lots of open space I assume should be given but it would be hard to believe that a regular 16inch five-gallon wouldn't fit.

    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.
