Unrelated Extra Info. We put this axolotl in a fallow tank that previously housed Yucatan crayfish. The next morning he was covered with these baby leeches. The little blood suckers really nailed this guy. LA.

He's in a two-inch bowl here. Lotsa leeches too tiny to pick
off. (We tried with a tick puller.)

We added one teaspoon of salt and the leeches started dropping off.

More than we cared to count -- not counting the ones on the hand shown

Leech Info. Evidently leeches can lie in wait without food for extended periods of time. We dosed that fallow tank with salt and zapped many more baby leeches. But they still lived. So we gave them a couple cups of salt and the tank still lies fallow. (We’re writing a version of this soon to appear on the Sci-Fi channel.) LA.
