Does anybody know a good place to purchase aquatic isopods? Or would anyone on here that keeps these care to sell or donate a starter culture? Thanks

If you go to local running creek (you can find one running year round) get a fine mesh net or makeshift net and you can collect wild isopods, good luck brother!

Hello, I get mine from Carolina labs.
 
Does anyone know if all aquatic newt species enjoy these and are they easy to culture?
 
The species Asellus aquaticus (I don't know the species you have in America) is enjoyed by virtually all aquatic caudates.
They are easy to maintain and to raise but I find their colonies grow rather slowly.
I sometimes catch some of these aquatic isopods to vary the food I give to my caudates.

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    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

    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!
