Last 4 years I started to collect Cynops pyrrhogaster from differt known sites. It is striking how they differ in appearance. At the moment I keep 8 known lines, here some of them...

They are really beautiful! My pyrrhos have similar looks but I have no information where they've from, I've just classified them as sasayamae from unknown area...
 
Beautiful, any chance to see the rest of the lines you keep?
 
They are very nice newts. These are mine I got the other day. They are terrestrial. I will be getting a clear tank for them, but they are in an opaque tub for now. One had a lovely orange tripe down its back.

    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?
