They offered me 3 Neritina natalensis, saying that would help me keep the tanks clean, I do not eat the plants and that the newts will not attack. I find it quite interesting, however I have any fear because it can happen any incident! Consequently I have them in a small plastic box, but before placing them in tanks I would appreciate an opinion about this, and if they have any experience with this type of snail that I speak a little of it.

Thanks
 
Hi Lusiwarrior,

They are beautiful snails, aren't they? They are also tropical snails that need temperatures between 22-24°C so that might be a problem. They also need salt water to reproduce, in case you are interested in them breeding.

Hi blueberlin,
are very nice indeed! Yes, the temperature can become a problem, but I think it's nothing that does not solve. Yes, breeding them would be interesting!

cheers

    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.
