Aplexus, rolling and circling. Just a regular day in the Pleuro tank.

Those are some very healthy acrobatic newts. I think they are posing for the Pleurodeles version of the kama sutra.;)

I was going through old posts looking for links on mating. I am new to p. waltl and was recently basically given two. They are not sexed but I noticed this behavior between my two earlier today. It may seem like a stupid question, but looking at your first picture, could you please tell me which is the male and which is the female? I have tried to research it but I can't find concrete answers. Thanks so much!

The male is always on the bottom with this species. The male also has the bigger arms and the bigger tail.
