Today's leech

Dawn,
You must have either a good friend or a crazy one

,to help you go on that monster hunt. Are you finding many more?
 
It was actually the guy at the petstore where I go every week, I stay awhile and shoot the breeze sometimes. When I first found one, I went right over there and asked what the heck that thing was? I really wasn't sure it was a leech. He stuck his finger right in, it latched on, I squealed "eeek!", he swung it around, it held on, and finally fell on the floor. Then he picked it up and threw it in a tank with a big fish that promptly ate it. I think he likes doing things like that to impress the ladies.
I've found a total of four in each tank. I found one soon after the one above that I posted, which made me decide OK, I'm changing the tanks out.
 
Well like I said good friend or crazy, maybe a little bit of both?
I would change the tanks too even though it sounds like a lot of work especially when you already have established tanks. But on a positive note at least when it is done you won't have this reoccurring problem again. Fingers crossed.
I wish you luck & keep updating.

    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.
