He he, you're spot on, he got his gills bitten off on one side when hen he was small and they never grew back. He reminded me of a Pachytriton.

Here he is, he's a lot bigger now but still hasn't morphed yet.

It's a Tylototriton for sure. When I raised Tyototriton verrucosus and shanjing they would absorb 3 of their gills and leave the other 3 for later on. I'd say it's a T. verrucosus.

He reminds me of someone with a modern cut where you shave one side of your head and have long hair growing out of the other.

Beside the strange look of this individual, There are very good details of the lateral line running along its belly and turning around its limbs.

    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?
