The manager of my local pet shop has informed me that after I pressed him for information about his newt vendor, and he read all the posts and articles on Caudata.org, that he has stopped ordering newts wild caught from China, and is now looking for a captive bred vendor here in the US!
He has even set up a different newt enclosure and they will no longer be with the firebellied toads in a climate that is far too warm.
Yay!
I even confirmed it. They didn't get any newts in today with their shipment of other fish and reptiles and amphibians. I was there when it came in. They also gave me credit for a free newt when they find a new vendor.
ALSO - my surviving newt seems to have finally adjusted to the new tank. And no more zebra danios are dying. We figured that the 4 largest fish were keeping the 3 smaller ones from eating and they starved.
