i have 2 firebelly newts in 20 gal aquarium. there are no plants yet... i'm still trying to get an idea of what to use. anyway i have had these guys in the tank for about 3 months and they don't seem to go after anything i put in. every once in a while they look like they are going after something in the air but i don't see what it is. all i see is there mouth open and close really quick. there food usually sits in the bottom of the tank. they did spend a lot of time out of the water until i put a fan over there resting ariea... now they get wet and then return to dry off. regulating temp? there not super active either if u sit there and stare at them u don't see a lot of action, but if u just kind look over once in a while u catch some interesting events. what are they eating and why do they look so healthy? i'm not knocking it, but i wanna know how to improve there situation. after all i am suppose to be there care taker.

    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.
