This is the first time I have ever seen a newt in the middle of laying an egg. She was just floating at the top, taking a rest I suppose.

Nice shot, Jennewt!!! That's the first time I've seen that. If you took that picture at a large resolution, I've love to see an up-close version showing the egg emerging!

Here's the best close-up I can do from it.

It's still only March, but I'd like to put in an early nomination for that pic for "shot-of-the-year"! What happened after it was taken? Did she lay it on a plant or withdraw it?

Mike - there's a 2 out of 3 chance that it's one of your old newts. I'm not sure I can tell them apart any more.
Tim - I have no idea what happened afterward. I didn't have time to stick around and see what she did with it!

Actually, I think I see what happened to the egg. Today there is a fresh egg sitting on the java moss just below where this newt was floating. It is not wrapped up as they usually are. I think she just dropped it there.

SkudulfXD:Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much+1

Toast69:Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!+1
thank you!
