Cynops orientalis eggs and ghost shrimp

[Roney]

My cynops oriental female laid eggs and i was concerned that the ghost shrimp or the newts might eat them, would they be safe in the tank they are in with them. its a 10 gallon planted tank. 2 FB newts and 5 ghost shrimp house the tank

I guess in general its never save to leave eggs / larvae with bigger specimen in the same enclosure (cannibalism). If you want to raise some newts you should get them out into a second enclosure. Still, I never bred newts so better wait for other advise or browse caudata.org for information.

Best regards

i have a 5 gal tank i might put the plant with eggs in seems like she is still laying them though

I think the shrimps don't present any danger to the eggs but the adult newts might.
The female is likely to lay for weeks. Have a look at this article http://www.caudata.org/cc/articles/raising.shtml

I took all of my eggs and larval salmanders out of the adult tank and into a ten gallong aquarium. I put ghost shrimp i after all the eggs were hatched and had no problems. The adults will eat the yound if left i the same cage though
