Finally! Pachytriton breeding

Thanks for the update, and I look forward to those pics. Just some questions - how small is small at the time of morphing and going terrestrial, and when did they start to morph/how long was the larval period? Look forward to more info,

Hai ,

indeed Erik I bred 'C' but never had the luck of breeding the other types. Very recently I enherited a group of 7 pachytritons that were imported 14 years ago (and doing well) , so maybe this may help.
Anyway I reared the juveniles by forcing them into the water . I had a bare tank with about 2 cm of water and lots of Elodea in it (a green carpet of them) . The juveniles hated it alot and also climbed the glass walls , but after some days they remained in the water. At least until one morning I opened th curtains and direct sunlight heated up the tank , killing my offspring ( I cursed a long time, but it didn't help ;-).
 
Hi! I was wondering if either of you had success after breeding Paramesotriton labiatus in the US?

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
