Okay,
I have been working with a group (1.2) 1 male 2 females for just over a year and after varying the seasons I now have eggs! Many of which are developing nicely and I hope that they will hatch in the next week. (They are on approx day 13 so it could be any time?).
I have set up brine shrimp and I just have a few questions.
Any help from those who have experience with tylototriton would be wonderful and much appreciated.
This is my plan for the larvae once they hatch (fingers crossed).
I have small containers which I plan to set up with filtered H2O.
I have read that oxygenating plants are good but I bought some which are quarantined in an aquarium but as suspected there are many snails which I would rather not risk, so I was thinking of adding a small bubbler in the corner of each container with a small flow of air instead.
I have set up two colonies of Brine Shrimp. I set up a test run last week so will these be too big to feed out? I set up a new batch yesterday and plan on doing this every other day to have a constant supply. I have read that feeding the brine shrimp themselves with something such as Spirulina (which I have) is a good thing?
I was thinking of keeping approximately five newt larvae in each container with a few inches of water. If I don't use live plants would softer plastic plants work for them to hide?
As you see I have many questions."
Thank you for any help in advance.
