White-ish growth in my fire bellies mouth help!!!

[born2ride321]

Got this newt a couple of weeks ago and put him in my 20 gallon tank with my newt Ive had for two months (so I'm a beginner). Ever since I got the second one (Toothless) he's had a larger throat/jaw area than the other one which I thought was just variation between individuals. He also sits a lot with his mouth open, I thought he was waiting for bugs. But when he was in the water today, it seemed hard for him to move around because his head kept dragging so I picked him up and he has a white gray growth in his mouth. Is this mouth rot or something different? He seems really sluggish and sick. The other one seems fine so far... what should I do??

Separate them, whatever is wrong with him, he might be able to pass it on to the other guy

I know this was posted a while ago, but I believe Toothless has/had the same thing mine does right now. http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-be...94694-small-scar-like-wound-2.html#post401306 He may have been bloated from organ failure. It was probably because of stress during his life before you obtained him.
