Congratulations, and very well done! For those of us who are struggling to repeat your excellent achievement, please could you answer two questions?
How were the adults treated before breeding - aquatic or terrestrial, and at what temperature?
And did you raise the young completely aquatically as it appears from the picture?
Thanks,
 
Welcome to the forum Petr. Congratulations on your kaiseri breeding success! A wonderful achievement. Thanks for sharing the photos.
 
Beautiful, thanks for posting! Please tell us as much as possible about how you breed them.
 
Those are fantastic looking animals...Do we have anyone here in the U.S. working with this species?
 
I breed the kaiseri in the setup as you can see on the pictures:

1/3 land, 2/3 water
filter 160 l/h
light - tube Repti Glo 2
Temperature in tank (night min/day max):
water in summer = 16/25°C
water in winter = 10-12/19°C
air in summer = 17/27°C
air in winter = 7/20°C

Very high humidity.
The newts are in this setup during all year.

As food I am using: larvae of Chironomus, Culex and fly larvae, Eartworms, babies of fish from my garden pond - (Leucaspius, Carassius), copepods (Acanthocyclops), Daphnia, and dry food for tortoises. The newts eat all worms and larvae of Chironomus on land too.
 
Hi Petr,

Beautiful animals and a great set-up!

Best Wishes,
Patrick
 
It looks as if the current is fast flowing. So these guys like mountain streams?
 
Very interesting set up for possibly the most gorgeous caudate around. Congratulations on the success you have had with these.
What are you using for substrate?
 
Very interesting experience, very useful to try to save this very endangered species through captive breeding. Congratulations.
 
Fingers crossed, Alan!

Really amazing to see the courtship behaviour of such a rare species. Interestingly similar to Triturus.
 
Great video Alan. I've seen something similar to that with mine. Here's hoping we all have success.
 
I don't seem to have the software needed to view your videos, Alan

But please keep us posted, and may luck be with you!

    Hello. I just noticed two notches, white small bubbles on the hind legs of one of my male newts.

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
