Our kitchen is lost to frogs and salamanders (maintenance day)

Bombina orientalis tadpoles are ready for metamorphosis. Mom is T+ albino and dad is axanthic. Waterchanges. Leaves are prepared by boiling. More cleaning. Paludariums with very shallow water are prepared for froglets and later on, efts. Then, you guess it, more waterchanges.

A friend accidentally purchased gravid firebellies that laid eggs. She gave the eggs to me to raise, because I already had lots of tanks with tadpoles and some experience with amphibians. Salamanders/newts are completely new to me though, so it's a fun experience to follow their development. So far they're eating moina, copepods, ostracods and blackworms/tubifex.
