Here is what I found in the big P.ruber tank last night. The one doing the biting is quite a bit smaller than the one being bitten. This went on for about 5 minutes not including the time before I caught them.

This is a dumb question but did the bigger one survive?
 
Maybe it was the Musica Banda that made them do it?

I keep telling him that the Spanish music and the aroma of Taco Bell is the key to his success.:p

When this little tussle ended did they just seperate and go on about their business like nothing happened or was there some chasing and/or other little skirmishes?

Oh please, it´s in spanish but it´s not spanish xD
Sounds as mexican as it can get to me.

Nice video Jake, that newt strikes me as the dumbest one in the group though. I swear i could see a gesture of desperation in the "attacked" newt...
 
The attack-ee seems to have a look of "are you done yet?" Maybe the little one's just trying to impress the ladies with his toughness. Napoleon complex, anyone?

I'm not sure if they did or not, I began doing other things when they were still fighting.

Yes, all survived.

Not to hijack the thread but here in the US, Rodrigo, most Americans associate "Spanish" with anyone south of the US border, sadly.

    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.
