Hi,

my mom has 4 albino clawed froggies, babies we bought believing they are dwarves, in her pond in Holland with 4 large gold fish who leave them alone. The pond is filtered. She feeds them artemia and mosquito larvae, both live and frozen.
Now she's observed for the past day or so that one frog got fat. Now it sticks to the surface and only twitches when she pokes it, but doesn't flee. Is this dropsey? What can we do? I can't help her physically as I'm in Israel. Can she put him in a little spare tank with some table salt? I think I read somewhere salt helps.

Thanks so much!

    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?
