This last week has been a violent one in the pre-moprhed waltl tanks. I have seen the aftermath of some horrible eating disasters. The larvae have started to morph, but have been tearing each other apart, literally. Now that they are bigger and older, an arm ripped off seems to be a much bigger deal.
I have had to amputate 4 limbs now myself and the status on those newts is stable, but at this point its much harder to deal with having a newt swim up with a bone prodruding from the arm. I take the bone off so it is flush with the stump, in hopes it will grow back, so far its still a question of letting them have a mutalated arm permenently, or take it and risk that take it off and not have it grow back at all.
I have others that have gotten tail sections bitten off that started to get weak, and then were attacked by the healthy ones. Now I have a critical care ward, recovery tank, pre=morph tank and a morph tank. Its getting crazy and at this point I almost feel like steping back and letting nature sort it out. Its much more tragic now that the have almost made it to morphing, and die, but I guess this must be the most crucial "do or die" time. Should I keep operating or leave these guys alone? Does anyone else know why things are getting so crazy?
