Those are marvelous specimens. How would someone go about if he was planning to breed these guys?

Also, what would be the ideal temp range for these guys?

Seems rather interesting that simply changing the water with cold water can induce these guys to breed.

It's almost as if they were copying Corydoras, but with cold water!

No, this is just a support!
The other factors also must be right.

So, would these guys need hibernating?

Dear Paul,

Can you write up a caresheet and breeding information for P.laoensis and post it on the caudata website ? :happy:

you works are truly amazing!!!

Your experience and techniques will bring much help to fellow hobbists and newbies like me.

i hope to breed my P.chinensis,
and looking at your threads gives me all the positive feelings!!!

Thank you and have a nice day!!!

We are writing a care sheet in AG Urodela for Amphibian Ark
Until it will be ready you can have a first idea how to manage it here:

I wrote more articles about laoensis, but sorry all in German.

Hi Paul,

you are cool.

Just a suggestion.

Why not post it on the caresheet list here?
is seems like this site has alot of caudate keepers who keeps Paramesotriton.

your experience and caresheet is going to be a best help for them.

Cheers!

They slipped in Dez. 06 to Jan. 07 - now I can see the first shine at the tail of the deloustali and laoensis males!
Less then two years!

Here you see, the influence of the food for the colour.

Hey Paul, looking wonderful! I wish my 1.1. L. laoensis does breed also for me this year. How are your females right now? Very plump? Or not much?
