Is there any established protocol for treating this type of chytrid? I know there is for Bd but has anything been established for Bs?

A recent thread on here as well as reading this article has made me curious. According to the article, Bs can't survive more than 5 days of temps at or above 25°C. I am not familiar with what S. salamandra experiences at higher temps but would a short term rise (one week) in temp be a possible treatment plan for Bs? Possibly a series of them? Like I mentioned, I don't know the ill effects higher temps can have on S. salamandra but would it be much if any worse than chemical soaks?

I am not starting trials or anything, just brainstorming and curious as to what others may think.

    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?
