Came to find my C oriental larvae has something going on with his back leg. It must be a bit nothing in their but larvae java moss and frogbit. I have 3 in 6x6x2 inch or 15cm by 15cm and 5cm deep Rubbermaid. Is that to many for C orientals they are only about 2cm long. I know thats not a problem with N.V.L. I'm doing water changes every day to.

Sorry to see that your little fella has a problem with his leg.
Best of luck for a rapid recovery and please keep us posted.
 
It just looks like one one of the others bit him by mistake at feeding time. If it's otherwise healthy it's not really a problem and it will soon heal up on it's own. When I'm raising Cynops larvae there are normally a few that get injured like yours, they always turn out to be healthy juveniles when they morph. Just keep an eye out for fungal infections on the wound while it heals. It's fine to raise larvae in small containers like that as long as the water is kept clean and temperature is reasonably stable.
 
Thanks i was a little lost and was hoping it was a freak accident. I will still separate him/her because i only have 3 and want to keep a eye on the bad leg.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
