I have another newt question...
One of my red spotted newts has been doing this weird curling behavior. His head is facing the gravel, then the rest of his body almost curves into a C shape. And he just floats there above the gravel, looking very very dead. I have done water testing and cleaned out the gravel in the tank..and everything looks ok. Ive thought maybe nutritional deficiency of some sort...but has anyone seen this with newts? I thought at first he had some buoyancy issues but now i am not so sure.
The newt is in a tank with three others, I water test weekly and change 1/3 of the water out. All newts are fed black worms currently.
