Hello all,

Just thought I would share some new pics of my Mudpuppy display at work. The tank is being cooled at the moment and the cloaca of the male has really swollen since I have dropped the temperature. The three females I have are getting more aggressive when disturbed and feeding a lot more than when it was warm. Fingers crossed they will lay some eggs when I increase the temperature in January and increase the flow of water.

They are so cool.

Jay

Great pictures! Looks like a great exhibit. Good luck on the breeding!
 
Changed the setup to get them to start laying.

Over the next month I will gradually raise the temperature and speed up the flow of the water. So if the male has done the deed then this should encourage the females to lay as long as he has everything in working order, so fingers crossed everyone please.:D

Here are some photos.
