I have been doing research on Tiger/Spotted salamanders and I was wondering what the best feeders were, how often to feed it, and how many of the feeders to feed at a time, I posted this in the general chat accidentally but I thought here would get some more results as well, Thank You!

I have two blue spotted sallies that are on earthworms exclusively and seem to be chubby and happy. Other options you can try are waxworks, crickets, hornworms. Variety is best but mine don't care for any of those. Stay away from mealworms. They are technically "okay" but not very nutritious.

I have a 30 year old tiger salamander and am wondering if they can eat stink bugs/beatles? We have so many in our area and they are a good size. But if they stink when squished is that bad for my Spot?

I’d stick with worms I’m not a it e about stink bugs but they smell foul and likely don’t taste that great nor have a great nutrition

    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.

    Hi, I really need some advice about cloudy water in my axlotl tank!

  • 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.

    Hey guys... Hope you all keeping well... I have 4 fire belly newts and one looks very bloated... I have seperate him and moved him to his own enclosure so he can get better hopefully but I don't have a filter in this specific enclosure. Please can you guys advise if I need to get him one or whether I can leave it? I have read a lot of articles that say they prefer still water and I can change his water frequently keeping it clean. Please advise 😊
