Hi I reported a problem with my newt last week and I was told it looked like blisters....I still have him quarantined and I have been keeping his water clean and treating him with Melafix but he looks worse....check out the image...he keeps shedding too in patches..to me it looks like layers of skin that have built up and need to come off..or if it was blisters could have burst?? He is still lively and active.

Any other ideas people??
Thanks in advance! xx

Can newts get Ich? I am not entirely sure but I believe it is possible.

    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?
