Just bought 2 healthy, 5 cm Cynops orientalis......at a petshop!

I rang up the Hollywood fish farm in Albany, Auckland a couple of days ago and found out a wonderful discovery! I went up there this afternoon and bought me 2, healthy, fat 5-5.5 cm aquatic juvenile Cynops Orientalis! I was stunned, not only at the size, but the condition they were in. They were treated like royalty! Absolute pleasure to see. I took them home to find out they jumped straight into the water without no stress with my older newt.

They look to me like young adults. Just wanted to recommend this store to anyone looking for newts. There's about 1 or 2 left. ARRGGHH I'm so happy!

That's good to hear they were in such great shape, but you should quarantine the animals for about a month before introducing them into the tank with your other animals.
