Bombina pachypus

I have a question about the pachypus. Is it recognised as a different species or still as a subspecies of Bombina variegata. Is there something like an official declaration from an authority that declare that pachypus is a full species?
 
pachypus was split from the variegata complex in the early 90's but it seems that it's only really been in the past couple of years that people have taken note of the change.
 
Are you for 100% sure Andrew? Do somebody keep or breed with this species?
 
Yes pachypus is a separate species.
I keep them and have attempted to breed this year but acquired my female very late in the season, I'm due to pick some more up from a breeder next month so hopefully all should be well for a good breeding year in 2006.

    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?
