Anyone notice that it seems Cynops orientalis are becoming a bit less common? Recently, most petstores I've been to, if they carry newts, inevitably have Pachytriton labiatus, and Paramesitotriton sp. They are larger, probably tougher, and sell like hotcakes(for anywhere from $4-$10).(a lot easier than tiny C. orientalis)
Thoughts? These both seem to be highly K selected species and I doubt can sustain much harvest.
