Hi

Greetings

I've been trying to find out about N. kaiseri studbooks without much success. Could you post the details?

Thanks. Does Jochen speak English? I emailed him some time ago but never got a reply.

not much english

Well, Jochen doesn't speak much english but he uses a transaltor, so you could ask some german people to translate your email or use very short and clear sentences.
If you come to Gersfeld after a couple of beers I am sure u will understand each other Beer language improvement, so amazing

Yago, please do not take offense, but some of us feel that your original post was primarily an advertisement. This section of the forum is for sharing of information among experienced keepers/breeders, not availability. Thus, I have edited your original post in accordance with this purpose. You are welcome to post information about availability in the for-sale forum, if you choose.

Can you please post some information about your breeding success? Any photos of the setup for the adults? What conditions have you used to raise the larvae/juveniles? Do all of the juveniles still have gills, as shown in the photo? If not, are the morphs now terrestrial, or still in water?

Hi Jennifer
Well, it doesn't pretend to be an ad since almost 90 % of all of them are already booked for. I don't pretend to sell anything here since I won't post them. And since that post on caudata.org very few people knew this years breedings. The intention was just to inform and also encourage enthusiast to assist to the Gersfeld meeting since its a great oportunity to share experiences, meet other enthusiast, assist to conferences and also there is exchange of captive breed animals. I also expected some questions so I was ready to answear any question.
Some info:
I keep adults all year round in water and I do the same with juveniles (they never go through a terrestrial stage). The first picture I post with 4 n.kaiseri are already juveniles from this year, the second one is a breeding adult and the third one is a larvae (I still have 20 % of the animals with gills). Apart from the picture of the adult wich was taken in may the other two pictures were taken the same day of the post along with the ones of caudata calendar competition.
On temperatures I keep them in summer at 21 grades and in winter bewteen 5-10 grades, I keep a truck of all year temperatures (I use a teco refrigerator) and also I keep truck of daytime hours (very few in winter and 12 hours light in summer). I will post accurate info was I have time to gather and sum up the info.
Eggs were lay 90% on plants and 10 % in rock holes, so it has being proven that if avalable they prefere plants over rocks.
Adults are feed with live tubifex, life daphnia, frozen red worms, live dendrobaena, liver (chicken, rabit and lamb) and once a month I dust liver or tubifex with vitamins (new ENT amphibian vitamins).
Juveniles are 'well educated' so they will eat almost anything given but main diet has being live tubifex with vitamins, daphnia (best food on the first month of hatching till they grow enough to eat tubifex), and frozen redworms but the ones I have already given away the new owners have reported me that they eat anything even pellets, cutted galeria, etc.
I will take some pictures and gather some taken from eggs and so on.
Best greetings
Yago

@Jennifer, I think the first formulation was better!
We know, that there is no problem to find people which are interested to buy neurergus kaiseri.
But the problem in the past was, that the offspring was given away without a consequent registration.
So we should post -

"I give my offspring away but only if you join in the Register".

I do the same with my Paramesotriton laoensis.

Thank you very much for the information Yago, this is excellent and will be helpful to many people. I am very impressed with your success with them. It's very interesting that you keep them aquatic at all times. I have similar experience with N. strauchii being able to stay aquatic. I have heard many say that it is more natural to give them a terrestrial period, but it's possible that in the wild they stay aquatic in years when the stream stays wet in summer.

I am sorry for needing to butcher your original post. I know your intentions were 100% good, but we have learned that if we bend the rules for good people, some others will take advantage.

I hope you all have a wonderful time (and some interesting things to share) from Gersfeld!

hamm show

See from a very old thread you have been to the show in the past, what did you think. I am thinking about going in March 2008, will you be there. Do you know the dates?

Do you keep Triturus, and what species?

Neil, you should probably have PM'ed Yago or started a new thread.
