no thats not it! its black
and about the size of a smooth newt
 
What you have is probably a juvenile crested newt of some kind... If who sold it to you invented the name "green crested newt" it´s probably a Triturus carnifex....since adult males usually have some greenish look.
Anyway i recommend you make some research and find out about the real species it is....because green crested newt is just something someone invented.
 
I overlooked the red belly part

    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?
