Cynops orientalis is a popular aquarium pet due to its vibrant coloration and relatively easy care. It is a semi-aquatic animal, requiring both water and land areas in its tank. The species is social yet territorial; thus, multiple individuals can be kept together, but ample space and hides should be provided. Regular monitoring of water quality is essential to maintain health.
