N. kaiseri - breeding season in high

In case you were wondering ...
The adults have turned out to be avid egg eaters :-(
Once I figured that out, I've been checking every day and removing all the eggs I can find. The first few were infertile but they've got the hang of it now! I currently have a dozen about to hatch/just hatched.
Please read: Don't ask me for this species, they are all spoken for over the next few breeding seasons! However, for a fee of US$250, I will add you to my waiting list!!

Cool looking newts, I havent seen these before.

Are you charging that much to be on your list for real? Or is that fee to be bumped up higher on the receiving list?

Since reading Alan's post I've started treating my eggs like killie fish eggs. I have spawning mops and artificial plants in the tank. Every day or every other day I pick the mops and artificial plants for eggs. I've also found quite a few eggs on the bottom of the sponge filter. I think I saw a larvae swimming in my egg tank but havn't seen it again.

Good news: 2 dozen and counting (adding 3-4 eggs per day).

Bad news: Waiting list fee is now up to US$500

Well for that price it is not weird they are almost wiped out in the wild by over collecting.

You misunderstood the joke Roy (which was to stop my email bucket overflowing).
All the youngsters from at least this first season will be going on to other experienced breeders f.o.c. to establish as many breeding groups as possible.

    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?
