Hi to everybody.
from this morning my lissotritons italicus has closed the eyes.how come?what can I do?I have now moved them in another aquarium had been starting for 3 months.I have recently put in the aquarium the green malachite for a presumed micosi (it was not a micosi but a molt) and of the co2 for the plants.what can he be?one of them don't have the closed eye but it have a whitish film that covers it.
thank you very much
 
Never, never use malachite green! It is highly toxic to amphibians. You need to treat the tank with several treatments of activated carbon (charcoal) and water changes to get rid of the malachite green.

Keep the newts in the other tank. Keep them cool and clean, and they may recover without any other help. There is not much else you can do.

    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?
