I'm not sure what other amphibians you have, but I do sugesst some kind of newt... The most common newt would be a Chinease FireBelly newt.... you could also get an axolotl... DON'T put the 2 together by the way... I've heard Axolotl's will eat the newts...
Have a good day!

i highly suggest an axolotl. although i am partial to them because i have 2. but they are definitely the coolest easiest going animal i have ever owned. plus they come in fun colors and you can get coppers in the uk which are really pretty.

Chinese firebelly newts(H. orientalis) would be a good option if you could find captive bred ones. Petshop newts will be wild caught and highly stressed.
Some other good options are Ambystoma sp., Triturus sp., H. cyanurus, C. pyrrhogaster, etc.

Also, if you are grouping frogs and toads with the other amphibians, I recommend White's Tree-Frogs, and Pac-man frogs. But for salamanders and newts, I recommend Ambystoma species, they are hardy and personable

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
