Notophthalmus viridescens dorsalis - larva

[ralf]

Larva from last years breeding. The parents of this animal were given to me as eggs (cb) by another fellow enthusiast which makes this generation at least F2 cb.

Looking good! How long did it take the animals to reach reproductive age?

Wow, I hope that it will grow up to be a nice healthy adult.

I think it looks awesome!

I'm in awe of anyone who can achieve 2nd generation offspring from Notophthalmus!

I know from my own trials and errors how challenging this is. Really impressive, Ralf!

Thanks all for your comments.

Ester, it took about two years for them to become sexually mature and the harvest of viable eggs from the first spawning was rather small.

Jen, sometimes also luck is involved and the animals did most of the work.

I hope they will continue to breed for me.

I certainly hope so too!
