Pyrrho pride parade.

How strange lol. Garfield is so bold and nothing from hands, syphon anything going in the tank phases her but he's a different matter but as I say getting better just makes me laugh that I have to chase him to give him his food

All these little guys are so cute!

It seems that they only had a short pause here, too, and now at least the smaller male is around the ladies again!

Old photos but I don't think I've ever posted them here.

Happy, healthy looking pyrrhos, they look like the same race as mine.
Is the old male with the broken jaw still around? I bet he would have some tales to tell if he could speak!

 

[Mark]

Yeah, he's still going strong. The original wild caught pair belonged to Jesper who was a Swedish member here when I originally joined the forum. They came from Sweden to the UK when he moved here for work so they are well travelled. Two have become ten since I've had them although they do like to eat their own eggs so it's amazing any survive

Here we go again. Just as the very last juvenile from last year has found a home the egg laying starts. The adults have been quite inactive for the last month or so, but the temp has dropped by a few degrees and they've gone nuts!

I've always loved this species. This was my first siecies if newt I had. Unfortunately the newt I got had a fungal infection and ended up dying, but he did inspire a great interest in these creatures that led to the many species I have now. At some point I want to keep this species again, although I do have Sword Tail newts now.

Chinadog, any updates?

 

[Sith the turtle]

Oh, sorry, didn't read who started the thread. I would still love updates though!

 

[Chinadog]

He he, I seem to have inherited it from Azhael, I'll see what i can do. ;-)

 

[Rupert]

Just wanted to drop a line of appreciation to everyone who contributed in the thread: Thank you for posting, and more importantly thanks for preserving the species in the hobby!

 

[Chinadog]

I thought I'd add a few recent snaps now they have gone into full on breeding mode. Its my F1 male's second breeding season and he's gone almost completely blue! It normally takes a camera flash to bring out the iridophores (sp) but not with him. I've noticed quite a few captive bred pyrrhos that are very blue, I wonder if the lack of red pigment makes the blue brighter? He looks nothing like his parents at all.

Love the colours!! I miss my 'big old guy" and his breeding colours. I'll just have to live vicariously through your photos...keep them coming!
