Just a few photos of some of my latest newts which arrived from Austria last week, as well as some of my older Neurergus. The photos are of Neurergus strauchii strauchii and barani, Neurergus kaiseri and Euproctus platycephalus.

Very nice! I´ve always wondered why Euproctus is not kept more frequently. Ok, they are not the prettiest, but they are fascinating!
 
This is great to see. I sparked my interest in that Eurproctus are so close to Neurergus genetically. Nice looking specimens!
 
Thanks very much for the comments.
I agree that it is a shame Euproctus are so unusual in the hobby, as they are a great species. They have been out exploring every time I have looked in the tank today, and as of yet seem to be fairly straight-forward captives. I also think they are much prettier than they are given credit for.
 
Euproctus are certainly very interesting and great behavior. I've got eggs last year but they were infertile. My hopes are better this winter/spring ;)
 
If anyone could help me acquire Euproctus platycephalus I would be ecstatic!!

    Hello, I’m looking for fire bellied newts that will ship to Ontario, Canada. Are there any captive breeders here? I’ve had many in the past and I’m looking to get a pair for my 12 yr old. I will be the care taker!

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu

    I believe my axolotl is constipated. I got him 8 days ago and have not seen any poop in his tank. I have a 20 gallon tank. No other tank mates. 2 hides and a bare bottom. I didn't feed him the last two days. His belly looks swollen and dark in color. I believe it is the food you can see. I fed him blood worms and soft quick sinking axoloty pellets. I tested his water today. Ph was 7.6. The nitrite and nitrate were both zero. The ammonia was 0.25 ppm. I was advised to cycle my tank due to the lack of nitrate. I added Seachem stability 10 ml to my tank yesterday and 5 ml today. I have a tank chiller. The water temp is set at 64. He is still active, but his tail floats up when he is moving about the tank. I am on the fence about fridging him. I also don't know how long to go without feeding him. I don't want to harm him. Please help asap. Thank you.
