Cynops pyrrhogaster prefer dark??

Hi, I have had my one pyrrhogaster for about 2 years ago, and when I moved him frog a 10 to a 20 gallon about a year ago, he was completly hidden, and never liked to come out from behind the rocks. When he was in the 10 he was always out. Anyways, when I turned off the light last week (to cool water) he came out, and has been out ever since, could his being out so much have something to do with the lights being out?

What kind of light are you using? I would imagine that a fluorescent bulb emits negligible heat. If you are using a different type of bulb that does significantly increase the temp, it may be the reduced temp that makes him more comfortable.

Another thing to consider is while some newts have no problem, others may take a while to adjust to a new setting even if it isn't dramatically different.

Mark, use a lot of plants at the water surface. So you have shadow in the tank and I think they will come out!

Hi, I have a floruesent, and he has been in the tank for over a year, I would think he is adjusted. There is a lot of plants on the surface. A bunch of Anarchis (however you spell it). Thanks though.

    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?
