Yes I'm pretty sure they have two mabey the got some new ones or mabey they sold the ones that were there. I'm worried about them they get quite violent when feeding pushing, and nipping nothing serious but it worries me. Do you know how to keep them form accidentally attacking each other while eating.

Here are some more shots from Benjamin that I have worked on :
A possible fuzhongensis

A caudopunctatus

A too vlurry to be certain fuzhong or chinensis (my guess would be fuzhong since 3 species out of 3 specimens would be too mcuh luck )

Can't agree more the caudo is easy to identify, the first pic look pretty much like a fuz(I'm still confused about the fuzhongensis/guanxiensis mess though...)
The third pic is way to blurred out to identify, but I get the impression that it is not a fuz...
Talking about the latest pics.

About the earlier pics, the two first pics of a newt is the same newt as pic number 1 or 3 of the latest pics??
My first reaction was that it was a pic of a hongkongensis or a fuz., the latter pics however doesn't have a hongkongensis so it must be pic 1 the fuz(?) or?

 

[benjamin]

I think the first and the third newt are the same species whether they're both Hongkong, Fuzhong or something else. They have the same belly pattern. The first newt of the earlier pics is the third newt of the later pics and the second newt of the earlier pics is the first newt of the later pics and the 3rd newt of the earlier pics is the second newt of the later pics. If that makes any sense

 

[jesper]

They are not hongkongensis, the first one is a fuz and the third one is probably a fuz too then.
I was kind of hoping that the blurred one was a chinensis but that was only in my dreams hehe.

If I have two Fuzhong newts and one caudopunctatus how do I take care of them. How should I hibernate and breed them. Should I put the caudopunctatus in a separate aquarium. How can I tell males from females.
