Help for identification

[amary]

Hello,
My English is not good for this far I do not allow myself to write here. And still do not orient well in the forum. They brought me new newts. I want to know the exact species to best care for them. I'll be glad if someone can help me for identification. The newts are small (size 5-6 cm). They are family Lissotriton (guess L. Boscai, L. Helveticus, L. Italicus, L.V. Kosswigi, L.V.Graecus). The male has a very low straight comb and not have webbed legs - palmatе. They stayed two weeks on land, went in the water and there are eggs (laid in early November). New newts (Lissotriton) seem dwarfs compared to they led inhabitants of the aquarium - couple Cynops Orientalis (8-9 cm). The man from whom I bought them said they are southern withstand higher temperatures. If someone has an opinion about the breed of these newts - let's help? Thanks in advance! Best regards! The pictures are there:

P.S. And more: why there is a limit and I cannot upload more photos in the album?

Здравейте,
моят английски не е добър и за това аз до сега не си позволявах да пиша тук. А и все още не се ориентирам добре във форума. Донесоха ми нови тритони. Искам да знам точната порода, за да се грижа най-добре за тях. Ще се радвам ако някой може да ми помогне. Тритоните са дребни (размер 5 - 6 сантиметра). Те са от семейство Lissotriton (предполагам L. Boscai, L. Helveticus, L. Italicus, L.V. Kosswigi, L.V.Graecus). Мъжкият има много нисък прав гребен и нямат плавателни ципи на краката. Стояха 2 седмици на сушата, влезнаха във водата и вече има яйца (снесени в началото на Ноември). Новите тритони (Lissotriton) изглеждат джуджета в сравнение с другите обитатели на аквариума - двойка Cynops Orientalis (8-9 cm). Човекът от когото ги купих каза, че са южна порода и издържат на по-високи температури от. Ако някой има мнение за породата на тези тритони - нека помогне? Благодаря Предварително! Снимките са там:

The male in picture 2 is certainly L. vulgaris. No other Lissotriton have large spots on their sides.

L. v. graecus or L. v. kosswigi are the only subspecies to have a tail filament. L. v. graecus do occur in southern Bulgaria, maybe this is what you have?

There is a key to vulgaris subspecies here:

Thank you for your answer, albeit belatedly! I do not feel competent and therefore I rarely enter the forum. You seem to be right, that these newts are Lissotriton V. Graecus. They were brought to me years ago from a market in Turkey, and according to the seller they are Iberian newts. It's a pity I couldn't keep this breed because it was my favorite. I had 2 generations and then they all died mysteriously with no visible signs. This happened a few years ago. I don't know if the mistake was that I grew these newts together with another species (Chinese newts "Cynops Orientalis"), which are more unpretentious to the pH of the water. Except that I was left with only one species of newts, which is a father with his 3 daughters - in the last 5 years I have no offspring. I can't figure out where the reason is and what I need to change.

Of the Lissotriton species, I have only one photo gallery left for me, I hope it will be useful to someone:
