A few days ago I bought another three fire belly newts but when I looked at them one of them was a lot lighter in colour than the other ones.It has been aggresive with the other ones and has bitten off one of the fire bellies toes. I have uploaded some pictures of it and i hope you can tell me if it is a paddle tail or not.

you have neither, what you have is a paramensotriton sp. i would post the pics in the paramensotriton section. unfortunatly i don't know what species you have, since the genus is pretty messed up at the moment but i think i'm safe in ruling out laosensis and deloustali.
 
Thanks alot!!,thats really helped me.

if i was to make an educated guess i would say caudopunctatus.
 
As Ralf points out, it is definitely P.caudopunctatus.
 
Its a male p. caudopunctatus (it has the spots on the tail = male)

    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?
