Hi, I just got this guy recently and can't figure out what color he is. I'd appreciate any help on figuring it out. And I apologize for the bad quality. Thanks so much.

The colour is pretty distinctive, but coppers have red eyes, wilds have black.

I couldnt see red eyes in the pics but it does look like a copper, the marbling on the axolotl also points to copper rather than a light wild.
 
Thank you both :)
Yeah I'm not sure if his eyes are red or not. One day they'll look like their black, the next they look red, or its my imagination lol. I thought coppers were a bit more pink/very light maroon, with a light body with darker spots.

tend to look like copper lol, the marbling gets more distinct as they mature, the red reflection in the eye is the distinctive characteristic though, ozzy coppers dont have red eyes, they look the same , share the same name but are a different morph.

    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?
