Yesterday, I just brought 2 new Pachytriton labiatus , juvenile Pachytriton labiatus , even during at the pet shop, I can see that they are biting each other and some of them have bite marks at their tail. These are juvenile Pachytriton labiatus , below are the picture from the pet shop..Now I wondering, can I put them with my adult Pachytriton labiatus because these guys are only about 3 inches and my adult male was about 7 inches. Can I put them with the adult male Which I have with plenty of hiding places?? Do you think that he will make harm too them because my male Pachytriton labiatus not really furious one even my axolotls are more ferocious then him, what did you guys think???? :rolleyes:

Re: 2 juvinile and 1 adult male??

I would not put the smaller ones with the adult.
 
yea do not put them together. I would first off tell the owner of the pet store that they are crazy to have that many in a tank, even if they are in there to sell.
 
in here they always sell them that way, my 1st Paddletail have bite marks all over him at the tail, now his heal, and now i have these young juvenil, maybe i should put saperator on my 3 feet tank.. :D
 
A while ago I used seperators for my paddle tails. Just make sure they cant see one another otherwise they can become stressed out. Even though they sell them like that it is totally wrong and dangerous to the animals health to be in there like that. Does they guy really need to order that many? I doubt Paddle tail newts are that popular.
 
Not that the conditions will be all that different at the wholesaler.....

Definitely go for opaque dividers. If possible have a separate filter for each section and completely seal of the sections so they can't smell each other.

i agree with you guys, this is at pet shop at my town, largest in my region, nway, here anything that wierd always have good money on it... :eek:
 
yeah, there are lot of them, i just wondering how they are sell in your place, nway there are 2 type of paddletail here which been stated in the caudata culture and i see they are also agresive toward each other... :eek:
 
Those are all Pachytriton granulosus. They're closely related to P.brevipes, not P.labiatus. Like the other three species, they're quite territorial, but they are the smallest and most slender of the four species. Color is more or less useful to identify them, but this species is usually brown with broken red stripes.

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
