Some sources found the name "Spanish ribbed newt". Amphibian is the name received due to minor bumps-growths on the skin. With some share of imagination, these bumps can be taken for short needles or spines. If the animal is afraid, the needles become more visible. Since this amphibian is easiest to take root and breed in captivity, then it will offer you, as a beginner in the pet store.
Sometimes the sale meets the Spanish Golden Triton. Most often it is young individuals, and over time, the color of their skin will become darker.
To Create good conditions for an unusual pet, is not difficult. Ribbed newts are undemanding to temperature and lighting. For a comfortable life of Triton Spanish must be in a two-stage tank. In extreme cases, at the bottom you can put a large flat stone, which would protrude out of the water. In the aquarium, be sure to place live plants and decorative elements, in which a turtle can hide from unwanted attention.
For design use bottom pebbles. Its dimensions must not allow the Pets to get a pebble in his mouth.
Warm up the water in the tank for newt is not necessary. Its temperature can range from +15 to +25 °C. But the best option would be +20 °C. So in the warm period the water will have even slightly cool.
If the aquarium is split level, the land can be issued as the swampy meadow or covered with moss. Don't forget that the tank should be covered with a transparent lid, otherwise the Triton will simply run away.
In contrast to aquarium fish, newts is not so important to maintain a certain level of oxygen in the water. The fact that breathing Triton floats to the surface, and does not use the oxygen dissolved in the aquatic environment. Important - the water should be fresh, pooled, not filtered and not boiled.
Do Not skimp on the purchase of aquarium filter, otherwise the water will quickly dirty. Some air animals get water from the skin, which is richly supplied with small capillaries. As nagrubanija and external contamination of the skin newts are updated, discarding the skin.
For a pair of Spanish newts need a reservoir, whose volume is about 40 liters amphibians do One for life needs up to 15 litres of water. Spanish newts are easy to get along with groups, so you can have 5-6 individuals at the same time.
Some owners contain spined newts with fish.
Not to say that this is the right decision. First, the fish need warmer water. Secondly, fish and newts will hunt each other (depending on gluttony and sizes). Third, fish are more mobile and, therefore, will be the first time to the trough, and newts you will remain hungry. But if you really want, one tank can be combined newts and guppies, catfish and corydoras. There will also be good to feel large snails, turtles and frogs.
Triton-predator, which means it will have to feed live food. Suitable for this purpose:
In Any case you cannot feed your pet fatty foods. Meat, fat, pieces of skin of the bird for the tritons.
The Young amphibians (up to two years) should receive a portion of food daily. Adults – 2-3 times a week.
To Observe the mating dance of newts is very interesting. So, how does the Triton Spanish? Reproduction in the aquarium takes place from early autumn to late spring. The animals become sexually Mature at one year of age. The male attracts the attention of the partner, swimming up under her and clutching her bottom paws. For some time the pair moves through the aquarium, closely hugging each other. Then the male swims forward and passes the female a lift spermatophore. The female picks up his cloaca.
Leaving the calf starts two days after fertilization. The process takes a few days. Eggs are many, they must be separated from adult newts, otherwise the offspring will be eaten.
Young appears in 10 days. As food it is on the plankton that starts to give on the fifth day after the appearance of offspring.
Over time, Spanish newts get used to the person who feeds them. They end up hiding at his approach, and, conversely, float to the surface.
Frightened or excited amphibians emit a sharp sound, something like the croaking.
Home of the tritons can be taken on hands, but not often, because for them it is a stressful situation. For these amphibians, the temperature of your hands very high, and they quickly overheat.
Don't be alarmed if in the winter your Pets are lethargic or lay down to sleep. Lower the temperature of the water and leave the animals alone for a while.
If you have correctly organized care for Spanish newts, but they will entertain you long enough. At home, these amphibians can live for over 20 years.
