Thank you sir. I will change them as you are the second person who knows what they are talking about to tell me.

The larvae in your photos are Ambystoma opacum. The overall dark coloration, white portals along the lower sides, and mottled tail pigment are pretty diagnostic. A. tigrinum larvae are usually lighter colored with darker cross bands and have bigger flatter heads.
