Well, if it's caudata.org, the person should know better and I'm sure has been told so by now. :) They are the best salamander/newt site out there and mixing species with newts in and of itself is a big no-no.

Thanks for the advice! I'll see what I can do. These were wee babes when I got them and my trusted LFS usually gets them in pretty small when they have them. I might have to look elsewhere.

And like I said, as bad as it looks sometimes, both of them are growing, beautiful, and apparently happy ...

Battling burmese loaches (botia histrionica)
