i need to know if anyone has witness this before or read anything about this. my popei are still breeding occasionally and the other day i noticed a sperm packet on the substrate. (it had that day glow white look-so it stood out alot.) a while later (i was filming the group-but didnt catch this on tape-but i did catch one male in the act of eating the sole egg in the tank)i witnessed one of the large females consume the sperm packet-attacking it as if it was an egg almost-tugging at it to free it from the jelly....is this a common occurance i have not witnessed before?......p.s. these are well fed fat newts-so the concept of consuming it as a protien source is not a very valid one.
 
Maybe strange pregnancy tastes ...

seriously, I'm not sure.
This is very different but a while ago aI watched a small child throwing her sandwhich into a pond to feed ducks that didn't exist. Anyway, I was there watching the teeming masses of triturus helveticus and vulgaris and a few cristatus, after a few seconds, about 10 newts swam to the bread and started to pull chunks off and eat it. I couldn't see any meat in the sandwich...strange.
