Nice specimens you have there, they will grow up well, as the adults they came from are very nice too, i take it you got them from a breeder near you??

Hope you do well with them

If these algira's really originate from Cudia Adru, then they likely aren't S. a. tingitana, but belong to the Rif Mountains populations. There is a note concerning the Cudia Adru populations in the original description, they do not resemble S. a. tingitana in coloration and are found south of its distribution.

Its nice to see that various members on this forum keep more than just one or 2 species or sub species, but its important in my eyes that if you can, then find out the locality where they originally came from, that worth a lot to me, and when i have sold some of mine, then that question always comes up.

I was told that they would be reclasified and they are not the usual S. a. tingitana and that they do not have red in them and they produce larva but they definatly are from Cudia Adru.

oh... I think I know where He got them from ;)

The location thing is quite important, the differnces between individuals can vary so much even by a hundred miles, for instance mine and Ben's Terrestris from the Gauntlier region in France, mine have the tiniest speckle of red, where as the later are the true red form.

    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?
