I have several groups of siblings where some have become aquatic and some have remained terrestrial. It seems we often comment on this forum on how Cynops/ Hypselotriton species grow so much faster once they return to an aquatic environment. Here are some pictures to testify to that!
These first images are orientalis siblings that are about 3 years old. Some of this sibling group returned to the water of their own volition around September 2011 and have been living with their parents in a fully aquatic set up since then. The rest of this sibling group have decided they don't like the water and are living in a plastic shoe box with damp paper towels. The aquatic sibling shown below is round from eggs, while I do not know the sex of the terrestrial sibling.
