Hi all,

I'm just posting to see if there are any other H.tokyoensis keepers out there to share information with?

Anyway, would be great to talk to some keepers that currently or have kept this species before so comment away or give me a PM :)

Look forward to hearing from you,

Seeing this post made me look these guys up, so I don't keep or know much about them. The way they keep their eggs looks very cool though.

Off topic: I saw some pictures posted by "MantellaMan" on reptile forums, would that happen to be you?

I have a pair (I hope) of Hynobius tokyoensis that I hope are nearly old enough to breed. I have had them 4 or 5 years and they have grown quite a bit since I got them although they are still quite small. I need information on conditions needed to encourage breeding.

    Hello, I’m looking for fire bellied newts that will ship to Ontario, Canada. Are there any captive breeders here? I’ve had many in the past and I’m looking to get a pair for my 12 yr old. I will be the care taker!

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu

    I believe my axolotl is constipated. I got him 8 days ago and have not seen any poop in his tank. I have a 20 gallon tank. No other tank mates. 2 hides and a bare bottom. I didn't feed him the last two days. His belly looks swollen and dark in color. I believe it is the food you can see. I fed him blood worms and soft quick sinking axoloty pellets. I tested his water today. Ph was 7.6. The nitrite and nitrate were both zero. The ammonia was 0.25 ppm. I was advised to cycle my tank due to the lack of nitrate. I added Seachem stability 10 ml to my tank yesterday and 5 ml today. I have a tank chiller. The water temp is set at 64. He is still active, but his tail floats up when he is moving about the tank. I am on the fence about fridging him. I also don't know how long to go without feeding him. I don't want to harm him. Please help asap. Thank you.
