I keep finding worms or larvae in my tank. I have been trying my best to keep them out, but its hard when i dont even know what they are or where they came from. Some are clearish black and the others are a clear red/ orange. Can any one please help? :mad: its just so annoying to keep finding these worms.

also, my newt does not get in the water.
 
Could you post a picture? And concerning your newt not going into the water, what are your water parameters? Temperature? What kind of newt is it?
 
Was your newt recently-acquired, or have you had it a while and it used to be in the water?

How often do you do partial water changes, and when you do them, how much water do you remove from the tank? And what is the tank size? The answers could be relevant to both of your questions.
 
I have a CFBN but he is not aquatic. The temp stays in normal range for a CFBN. I have a 10 gal tank but since he is terrestrial I have a terrestrial set up. I have about 1 -2 gal of water in the tank with an air stone. I have had him for about 7 months. I cant seem to get a good pic of the worms but i will try to post the vid i have of the red worms.

Sorry its not very clear this is the only cam i have

    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?
