Neurergus kaiseri update

This year's Neurergus kaiseri larvae have hatched and are developing well, now free swimming and eating brine shrimp and Daphnia. They have been a little slow developing because it has been so cold in the UK for the last two weeks and the water in their tank has been quite cold, but they seem to be OK. The only problem is, that they are a bit small to photograph at present (I tried, they just look like blurs), so to tide you over until they are more photogenic, here's a slideshow of some of last year's youngsters, doing very well under the care of Coen Deurloo:



Coen reminded me to tell you that Jen recently updated the Caudata.org caresheet for Neurergus kaiseri, so if you want to read pretty much all there is to know about keeping this species, here it is.
