Hi, everyone!
My friend sent me several sword-tail newts eggs few days ago.
They are really beautiful.
I feed them with brine shrimp, however i found them float easily.
The temp and density are both not too high.
I don't know why. Do you known the reason?

And these are larvae of Hyno leechii.

Hi there, the larvae of both species look great! You will probably do better with the Cynops larvae (and probably the Hynobius, too) if you keep them in a larger water volume with lots of plants. This will keep water quality more stable and mean you have to do fewer water changes.

I hope you get them through to metamorphosis successfully.
