Breeding for Cynops orientalis

But fish don't break into de-scaled bite-sized pieces unless the carcass is extremely rotted. And that brings up another point -- Newts won't eat rotten food.

Quik question! Does it mean anything if my male is rubbing his cloaca on plant leaves, as if he was a female?

It means your male's not a male. Many females, like mine, have rather large looking cloacas when viewed from the side, except they are very narrow and tapered. Female cloacas should look like a steep sided "V" when viewed from behind, while males look like a broad "U".

Nice, thanks! So does it mean anything when my female is rubbing here cloaca on plants?

Okay, So does it mean anything when my female is rubbing here cloaca on plants without any eggs?
