Hello,

here are some pics from a new species of Paramesotriton.
They are looking a little bit like P. deloustali, but they aren`t.

Greetings Ingo v.

Hi,

i got them from a importer here in Germany as Paramesotriton cf. deloustali.

Then i send pictures and a dead animal to the Museum Alexander Koenig in Bonn, they confirm my idee that this animals are a uncertain species.

In my opinion they looks different to other species of Paramensotriton.

Well, there’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding deloustali/guanxiensis. Without proper genetic studies it seems impossible to say what is synonymous or a valid species. I for one hope it gets more simplified because I have trouble telling any of them apart ;).
 
Hello Mark, at the Museum A. Koenig there is a Doctorant working on the determining of some uncertain species. The problem is, that a lot of animals were imported without any information about the place of collection. Greetings Ingo V.

    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?
