I'm not new here, my account was probably "flushed" recently. :/ I just bought this newt but I'm unsure of its identity.

verrucosus? It was sold as "Mandarin Salamander". Heres a clearer picture of it, hopefully it will yield a more positive result.
 
You should probably get a few more from the same import if possible, as there are so mamny forms, the next lot may be different

It seems to be more terrestrial than aquatic though. Do you think I could force it to adapt to a near 100% aquatic environment? I managed to make my "terrestrial" C orientalis become aquatic by removing all land, which did make it aquatic after a day only. If it is a verrucosus it would be ok right? I have an empty tank.. and I assume an aquatic environment will be healthier since the filter could maintain good water quality.

    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?
