You will need to remove the eggs from the tank to a rearing aquarium or the adults will eat the eggs & larvae. You can start the larvae on microworm & brineshrimp and then progress to daphnia, whiteworm, & bloodworm as they grow.   |

andrew, do cynops wrap the eggs as triturus in leaves or do they deposit them anywhere they like?

They will wrap the eggs in a similar fashion to Triturus but in my experience the majority tend not to. Javamoss seems to be the preferred choice for egg laying over all the plants I have tried.
