Pleuros

[benjamin]

Well, I followed your advice, I took these pictures during the light of day, the problem is, most of my warty newts and my axolotls don't like the sun, so the only newts I could easily take pictures of were my pleuros, here are the results.

Here are some pics of them begging for food

One newt tries to bite another one's leg

Aren't they adorable! I love the little one blowing the spit bubble. When I do that, no one takes a picture.

 

[rebekka]

they are so cute!
>.< hehe "spit bubble"
nice timing.

Thanks for all your compliments. Here are three consecutive shots:

The last three pics remind me of some sea monster movie when they look out the submarine's window and see the defeated monster swimming off into the abyss.

Love your pictures! They are very cute swimming around. Oddly enough I have to agree with Ryan when you scroll down the last three pics. Still nice though. Please keep posting them.

Congratulations on professional photos, reflecting a carefully kept set-up and very healthy specimens.

The reason it looks like its from some sea monster movie is because the light's a marine light, giving everything a blue tinge. Here are some pics from yesterday:

Here's a pic of a lone blood worm, unaware of its impending doom.

Here are some pics of the newts eating.

After eating, the most of the newts relaxed a bit

This one sat licking it's lips

And this one maybe ate too much

Here are some swimming

Here are some newts guffing (releasing excess air in order to decrease their buoyancy after surfacing):

I have to agree with the others - very nice pics. How many animals are in this tank, and what size tank is it? I have never heard the term "guffing" before, though I have seen some of my own newts releasing air bubbles like that.

This is my last round of Pleuro pics for a while (my computer's running out of memory).

Here's another guffing pic

Here are some pictures of them just hanging around the plants of the aquarium.

Here's a picture of a newt shedding

Here's a picture of a newt swimming

This one's so fat, it looks like a toad from above

And Here's another one just sitting around the plants

Excellent pictures! You seem to have great timing(the guffing,shedding& licking its lips).Very impressive. Absolutely love the second one down where (s)he looks like it is holding onto the plant "just hanging around" as you put it.
