I found this during a water change yesterday and to be honest, it freaked me out a little. I'm guessing it came on the Elodea I bought last week. If you know what it is, what it could've come from, or what it may turn into, please let me know. It's pretty small, probably 1cm.

I am no expert, but I think it may be a mosquito larva. I don't think it will harm adult newts, but newt larva could be at risk. I bet someone else who would know for certain would be more helpful, though!

Very close Jennifer. This is a damselfly nymph. It isn't harmful to a newt like a dragonfly nymph is.

    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?
