Possible T.verrucosus larvae

[david]

I found some of these in my T.v tank and believe they are T. v larvae. The only other possibility is that I missed some eggs in the plants from a pair of T. pygmaeus. I also plucked out another dozen today of new borns. Does anyone have any verrucosus larvae about 2 to 3 weeks old for me to compare them too?

 

[anthony]

they look the same as mine i have 3 in my tank with the pair i would say they are t.verrucosus hope they do well.

Do you mean tylotrition?

 

[john]

Yes they are, Dave, congrats on your new additions. Tony, are those larvae of the ones you got from me?

Best wishes,

John

 

[john]

Joseph - yes, you're right, Dave means Tylototriton verrucosus.

 

[joseph]

Cool! how many do you got crawling around so far?

 

[anthony]

Tony - congratulations

. I wasn't 100% sure of the sex of the female but it's good to have it confirmed. Good luck with the youngsters .

About 20 swimming around so far Joseph. Thanks for the confirmation John. They didn't look like my other triturus babies, but I had moved some plants around.

 

[joseph]

Have any plans for them? Heard that they prefer slightly warmer temps.

They'll be my first verifiable "Captive Borns" so I'll keep them and in a year or 2 breed them, so I'll have actual "Captive Bred" stock.
