Hi guys a bit of help neede here , i have a compleatly mixed bag if you like of warty's i've bought at different pet shops in north west england over the last few years ... one is definately P.chinesis , and i'm getting a professional photographer friend of mine to take proper pictures of the others ...
but i'm wondering could this be Paramesotriton caudopunctatus? it has no spots on the tail , but is more the shape of this species than the others , as far as i can tell from the pics on C.culture.....possibly a hybrid ?

sorry i don't have a very good camera and blackberry's weren't relly designed for wildlife photography :mad:
 
I would say it is a P.caudopunctatus too.
I see you keep P.chinensis with it, in what looks like not a huge amount of water volume...this is a REALLY bad idea...
 
It is the caudopunctatus indeed. I've had them too, years ago. I gave them away. Too bad, I can't get them anywhere
 
yes its in a temporary tank, whilst i moved tanks around in my flat i broke the larger glass tank , i might move it to a tank of it's own it's been getting bullied a bit in here , i bought it a while ago because it was in the shop with a tank full of paddletails !
i might just by a much bigger tank ....
what do you think ? is it always going to be bullied in with the chinensis?
thanks for your help guys !
 
Yes, it is a caudopunctatus. Sometimes chinensis and caudopunctatus can coexist with no problems at all, but it is better to separate them to avoid any potential problems.

    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?
