Hello every body!!! This is my first message in this forum. I want to show you my Paramesotriton fuzhongensis..are they correctly identificated??
The one with less orange on the belly is the bigger one with larger tail, bigger head, may be is a femalle?
Sorry but can´t understand how to put images in this forum yet...here you have the links

Antoni:

Those newts look a lot like the two I just picked up at a local pet store as "Giant Firebelly's". They were both in really good shape in a very nice display tank. Also relatively cheap at $10 Canadian each. I identified my two as Paramesotriton Fuzhongensis from pics on this forum but have little experience with this newt species. I sure was excited to see them for sale.

I wonder if this is a species that has become more common in the pet trade? I don't ever remember seeing them before.At least not in my part of Canada.

    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!

    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.
