I have noticed this the past few years with three different species of my Triturus. They will lay a massive amount of eggs (I'm not sure who exactly is responsible, I keep them in colonies, but it's clearly a group effort). I mean LOTS. Enough for more than I could possibly want and I've been selling them as well. They'll lay for a couple months. Then after they stop, over the next few months, many of the adults will die. I have enough to replace them (except my marms, it wiped them out and my juvies all died, but that's another story). Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a way to stop them? If I separate the males from the females, will they stop laying, or will the females continue to lay eggs that aren't fertile? Is it normal to lose the adults like that, or what?
thanks.
thanks.
