Dear Sirs,

last Sunday I noticed in a pond in south Italy (Campania region, at 600
meters above sea level) some salamanders/newts (about 7 cm long) and I
photographed them. I would be really grateful to you if you could help
me to identify them. I am not a specialist in your field (I am a chemist).Here below you can find some links I realized with the photos
of the animals I told you.

Dear Auntie, thank you for your suggestion...here below it will be possible to see more directly the pictures with the newts. Bye for now! Giovanni:happy:

The following photos were taken in south Italy, Campania region in a pond at 600 metres above the sea level. I will appreciate very much your comments and suggestions for the identification of these animals. Thanks!

    That´s the most accurate. Depends on the size of the tub etc. - you just want to make sure the water is always clean

    When little axolotls are tubbed is it common for them to get a little more spunky then usual? Water temps around 64-65 F and has been changed today with prime added

    Hi does anyone know if jungle fungus clear is safe to use for my axolotl? She has some either fungus or bacterial growth on her fillibrae and maybe body and I read that's good to use if you aren't sure if the problem is bacterial or fungal

    That jungle fungus clear. I've been dealing with some fungus with my axolotl on and off this summer. The Holtsfreter solution and water changes just seem to do the trick after a bit

    Where do you get the holtsfreter solution? I've been upping water changes but salt bath seems to be more stressful/harmful than beneficial because she does not like to be caught!

    To raise GH, add calcium carbonate (or tums). What has you doing this?

    Thank you! My tap water is naturally low in GH and KH, and I need to raise it... but I don't want to raise the pH, which is perfect, with coral.

  • AnimeDan:
    Hi Delaney. Can you be more specific? There are lots of reasons for cloudy water, such as substrate getting kicked up, water hardness, etc. if you don’t have hard water and it doesn’t settle then I’d do a water change and see if that helps.
