Hi all,
I just joined the org. It looks like a great place to discuss all things newts!
Here is my situation. I finally found and purchased some marbled newts, a 2.3 group.
I have looked on YouTube (mistake?) for videos/info and have found very little.
I am asking a breeder for help with setting up a breeding environment:
I need to know time of year they breed?
At what temp makes them breed?
What should be the normal temp?
Do they NEED to hibernate first, both sexes?
Can you keep 2.3 in the same aquarium during breeding?
Gravel bottom or bare?
Do they NEED to wrap the eggs around a plant leaf?
Will the others in the aquarium eat the observable eggs?
Do they NEED to get out of the water for any reason during breeding?
How do I take care of the eggs after I remove them from the main tank?
Has anyone used methylene blue in the egg water to prevent infection? (I am a fish guy)
Any help with these questions would be a great help
Thanks in advance, Denis
