I have a smooth skin Japanese Firebelly Newt that is approximately six years old. He is also a whopping seven inches long and very robust! He eats anything that swims in his tank with him, which has restricted his tank-mates to baby golfish only. And I must say that they only last about a month until he needs new tank-mates. Just recently (about a month), he hasn't been able to use his hind legs at all for either walking or swimming. I'm not sure if I should be overly concerned or if this is just because of his size and age combined. I don't think that he is sick because just the other day he ate another tank-mate and some prawns. Does anybody have some words or wisdom???
