Hi all
I couldn't resist to take a pic of my necturus maculosus. After 20 years I finally got some.
I will post a better pic in the near future

Yep... compliments for the new acquisition Yago.

I bet you will ;-)
 
How many do you have in there, and how big are they (and the tank?) I've had territorial problems with two in a 75 gallon tank, and some pretty violent fighting so bad that I was forced to separate them.
 
They are over 30 cm, some 40 cms. I keep them (one or two couples) in tanks of 500 litters with plenty of hidding places.
Best greetings
Yago
 
That's cool, Necturus are some of the neatest salamanders out there. They're beautiful animals.

What do you feed them? Mine prefer small fish, but also eat earthworms and some insect larvae. It's a really neat experience to hand feed them too; with a little patience, you can train them to take minnows right out of your hand. =)

Do you know the sex ratio of the animals? It'd be really great if you managed to breed them; some might even be fertilized already, if you're lucky.

Good luck with them, hope you enjoy them as much as I have! (Any pictures you post would be great, too.)

    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.
