About me: I Pachytriton labiatus are big-bellied newts and originating in the mountainous regions of China. They have a long tail very depressed with the characteristic white dash, the trunk and rounded projections similar to the lip to gather food on the bottom. They live at low temperatures in stony streams, each has its own pachytiton stretch of river where hunting, newts are very aggressive and territorial if one invades the territory of unleashed tremendous battles that most often ends with the death of one of the two contenders. Maximum length of 18-20 cm.
Behavior:
My Pachytriton are very territorial unwell. She will turn the fish cleaner (I found one killed in the lair of one of them) and with each other if encroach upon the territory. One lives among the rocks at the top, one of those in the lower part and the third in the cave that I built to hide the filter. Months ago I tried to make my living with Cynops, but it was impossible, just released in the basin have Pachytriton started to bite so I had to change their place. They are mostly aquatic and rarely leave the water.
Breeding:
Because of their territoriality for three PACHY will take at least 60-70 cm from a spa environment will be impossible because as soon as you raise so many in one tank. In fact the Council to divide the tank with stones for long that define the visible areas, and this will help the co-existence. Coarse gravel on the bottom, many flat river rocks to form caves and emerged a small area are essential.
Pachytriton In nature, many plants do not go with rivers so limit yourself to two or three plants such as java or elodea.
Low temperatures are ideal: 18-20gradi
