Yes... They will try to bite my hand when it is feeding time... They will be the ones that will actually look out of the water and aim for my finger! Cute!

Haha, I get the feeling they're fatter than yours too.... Haha. Well at least they're having fun.
The juggling apprentice fish
Only 1 fella is fatter than my original other 3... One is a tad small... Ling?
Anyway, I cannot differenciate any one of them... Except during feeding times when yours would be more actively hunting my finger!

Hi guys any sighting of fire belly newts in the lfs recently, I find paddle tails too agressive
i saw some but in that tank, one was upside down, the other had one limb gone with fungus.
Ask thomas to breed his(gotta stop refering to them as mine =p) Think they start getting it on once the temp goes below 20 or something... That and the fat one would be luke, ling's older, smaller and she seems to be more grey than black.
Interesting thing about newts, they can actually regenerate lost limbs.
The juggling apprentice fish
Below 20C? That's almost not possible... Think I'll be happy they live happy lifes with me... If they do breed, then it would just be something extra.
That, and it seems you might have gotten it opposite (or maybe I'd gotten it opposite). Read somewhere that females are bigger and fatter... Anyone can confirm? Too tired and lazy to check for info these days...

Oh dear... I really have no idea... Have you tried searching the net? There is a Newt and Salamander forum... Let me check tonight using my laptop and post the URL. You can post there for help...

realised mym newt isnt shedding
hasnt shed since i got it
update of my newt
the lower jaw had an ulcer and its quite bad but it has stopped since. testing various med such as applying yellow powder, PP, methylene blue to wound.
Also testing methyelen blue, yellow powder in water.
There are small fluffy stuff growing on its body but it is shedding adequately to overcome that. it not those cottonly fungus but like little plantlets/mushroom growth on the body.

Hmm... I'd suggest distilled water for water changes. In cases like this i believe it's best to reduce stress as much as possible and let Lesters' own immune system handle the problem.
Try to stick to 1 form of medication, keep the dosage constant and continue untill a week after the last signs have disappeared. Meth blue seems to be the safest option. Newts are very similar to frogs except they can regenerate severed limbs(really! a whole arm!) so anything too toxic might cause increased levels of stress and a loss of appetite. So for now... fatten him up. Good luck, I know how attached you can get to these little critters

A not so good news for the 6th day of CNY... One of my newts died...
The tank water had started to become cloudy 3 days ago for no specific reason that I can think of, except for crypt melt...
I changed almost 50% of water for the first and second day. All seems well. Forgot to change water last night. Came back late tonight and saw 1 fella floating...
Immediately did an almost 100% water change...
I hope the remaining 4 are ok. NO idea which died...
