Is there something in particular that you want to use?
My belief is that if it is manufactured and is not specifically to treat a newt then it does not belong in the water. I think a natural approach is always better unless there is an emergency.
I just wanted to know so I could know what's safe for my newt. I would be nervous to use a medicine, but I've read the article on Caudata Culture that listed types of medicines and it said some weren't dangerous to caudates. I also read some good reviews of medicine by some well-respected people here.
I think what Travis means is it would be rather difficult to list every harmfull chemical ever used in an aquarium treatment or product. Is it a particular medicine your wondering about? Or treatment for a particular condition?
The natural approach has been working for me. I was told to put stress syme in the water and a few other things which has not made any difference to the health of my 2 axolotls. I don't use anything in the water now. I clean the tank once a week, including vacuming the gravel. The natural approach has worked for me.
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?
