Does anyone have pics of the morphing of their tiger salamander larva??

I know that there is no set time limit on morphing but for example what does the tail fin shrinking look like exactly?

Yes, I am completely new to this as Hagrid was suppose to be an Axololt, but then his gills started shrinking but have stopped. He has stopped eating for the past 2 weeks.

Tank Parameters:
Non cycled tank so placed him in a smaller cycled tank.
Both Nitrates and Nitrites are normal and so is ammoina
Temp is at 20 C.

And how long is it going to take for this other 10 gallon to cycle...errr.

Thank you in advance
 
Are you sure "he" is not an Axolotl?They can metamorphis also.I have had it happen a couple of times. Gills shrink,eyes bulge and tail turns more round in cross-section.
 
I was told when I went back to the pet store that he was wild caught in west texas, so yes I am going to say he is not an axololt.

He is not doing much changing anymore....however, he is FINALLY eating and boy is he a pig...he ate like 5 redworms last night.

Plus the tank is cycled I believe and I got a cannister filter a zoomed 501 turtle something and he loves it...never hides anymore...must have been stress.

thanks for the responses

    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?
