Great photos! I am also at this stage with some marms(from Garrison). The funny thing is that they hatched during shipment so all I've done is pour some 20 or so(!) larvae into a rearing container.
 
don't be afraid to post up some pics.

Hows the raising going? Have you had any slip ups or is everything going as planned?
 
great actually. still got 6 and most have spots on their tails now. they also still have their front legs but no backs. when they get the rears and grow a lil more they are going into the other 10 gallon that has a lot more stuff in it and then the 55 gallon. whew!
 
Looks good, make sure to keep us posted.

Hope for the best chris. Its looking pretty good so far. That is a funny pic, as it seems the bloodworm is about 1/3 of his actual length lol
 
It looks like the larvae is sticking out a large tounge.
 
one passed away today not sure why but he was one of the smallest of the bunch. maybe he didn't eat.
 
here is a good pic of 3 of them at feeding time. as you can see they have black/blue spots on thier tails and some have small rear legs and are starting to swim more like a newt.

it seems i have 4 big ones and one smally. i looked at his stomach and saw no food but his buddys were fat as hell. so i isolated him and imma keep an eye on him.....feed him seperatly for now.

since they got rear leggs now i moved the four to a deeper tank with a submerged piece of wood with java moss growing on it, some elodea(gonna get more today) and a low powered air pump. the other one is still isolated and being fed well so he can catch up to the others.

    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.
