<u>VIETNAM NEWS AGENCY</u> (Hanoi) 08 May 06 Rare newt species discovered in Viet Nam
Phu Tho (VNA): Two individuals of a rare newt species have been found for the first time at an altitude of 1,156 m at the Xuan Son National Park, midland Phu Tho province of northern Viet Nam.
Experts identified the species' scientific name as tylototriton vietnamensis sp.n., belonging to the Tylototriton newt genus of the Salamandridae family.
It is similar to a new species reported in Germany's Salamandra magazine in November last year.

Thanks for pointing that one out.

Mind if I move this thread to the species discussion pertaining to Tylototriton to elicit further discussion after it plays out here?

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
