Paramesotriton "Fire-bellies"....

[corey]

I've have two Paramesotriton newts in my 55 gallon tank for the last two weeks under the assumption they were "large fire-belly newts" as the pet store sold them to me as. Although they didn't look like any of the fire-belly newts I've had before either Chinese or Japanese, but I accepted their naming. I was just glad to get them. I only found out that they weren't Fire-bellied newt by read the article "What kind of fire-belliy newt do I have?". Now that I know can anyone help me with care sheet info? I would also like tank set-up ideas if possible. Thanks.

Pictures say more than 1000 words, give us a picture so we can ID. Though most paramesotriton species require the same basic set ups, it would still be helpful if we knew what you had. You could at least give us their length. Look at the paramesotriton pages and see what your animals most closely resemble:
