1. The belly of the giant salamander is red! There are many small black spots! What should I eat? Is fish food okay? How much water should I put?

You are talking about salamanders. Salamanders are a genus of the family Salamandridae. They consist of five parts: head, neck, trunk, limbs and tail. The total length is 61 to 155 mm. The skin is naked, the back is black or gray-black, the belly is vermilion with irregular black spots; the anus is orange-red, and it feeds on tadpoles, frogs, small fish, mosquito larvae, water fleas, etc. You can add more or less water, depending on your preference.

2. The little baby fish sold on the street. It is the red-bellied salamander. Does it eat pork? Is it raw or cooked?

It must be raw, as he doesn’t know how to make a fire, and wild animals are eaten raw.

3. Can the six-horned giant salamander die from overeating by feeding it bloodworms? Its stomach is very big now. Anyone who knows please tell me. Thank you

She won’t die of overeating. Is she going to give birth?

4. How to prevent and treat trematode disease in giant salamanders?

Trematodes

Symptoms: The sick salamander is thin, has excessive mucus on the body surface, and moves sluggishly.

Treatment: There are many kinds of trematodes that parasitize the giant salamander. The reported ones are: Guiyang Pseudocaurus, Acanthocephalus, Oriental Posterior Groove Trematode, Elliptical Giant Salamander Trematode, Mabian Niuju Trematode, Muchuan Niuju Trematode, Short Intestinal Midgut Trematode. Most species parasitize the mucous membrane layer of the intestinal wall of the giant salamander, causing redness, swelling and inflammation of the intestinal wall. A few species parasitize in the stomach. If the trematodes are parasitic in a small number, it will have little effect on the giant salamander. If the trematodes are parasitic in a large number, it is easy to block the intestines and cause gastrointestinal perforation. You can refer to the veterinary treatment methods for trematodes and use drugs such as praziquantel and nitrothiocyanate for treatment.

Prevention: Use trichlorfon to disinfect the pond (since giant salamanders are sensitive to trichlorfon, you can first remove the giant salamanders and then move them back in after the pond is disinfected and cleaned.)
