Triturus Dobrogicus Larvae

He is growing a breeding dress I believe because the other male morphs have much lower crest and less of a white sheen.
 
Here are two more pics.

A female morph. Around 5 inches long.

A male morph with a small breeding dress. He also has a swollen cloaca. I cant believe he is cresting up. I'm sure it wont amount to anything till winter though:

Well today I finally found out how to take pics with the macro lense. Here are two pics of the male morph who is currently tail fanning madly at the female morphs! Please ingore the white dots. They were on the outer glass of the aquarium.

AJ, that's only one of your morphs? That's full breeding dress; pretty impressive.
 
Yea, thats a new morph. He is the largest male, around 5-5.5 inches probably. He is dancing quite a bit, although the female morphs dont seem interested.
 
One of my females layed some eggs a month or two ago. Only 6 were fertile. She stopped for some reason. A pre-season maybe. Anyways Here is one my first CB 09 dobros:

My special newt.She seems to be physically and mentally challenged. Poor little girl. You can see she walks very oddly. She has kept her juvenile colors too.

Beautiful Dobros, all of them , i didn't know that they can breed at under a year old , i was searching on the forum and this is not so uncommon , this let me hope for my young pair.
Anyway congrats on your breeding success and good luck for your special newt

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
