I got this frog for free from some guy in a pet store witch i used to work in. Frogs are new in Iceland and people dont know much about them.

I wanted to ask you if you knew what kind of frog this is ? I know it´s some kind of a (Rana species) am i right ? I have a southern leopard frog and this one is very simular.

It's hard to tell species from just this one photo, but it is definitely Rana sps.

Does the specimen have a white dot in the center of the tympanum? If so then it is probably either R. utricularia or R. blairi. If the spot isn't present it may still be those two species but may also be Rana pipiens.

Those species are known (respectively) by the common names southern leopard frog, great plains leopard frog and northern leopard frog. I'd be willing to be it's a southern leopard frog.
 
Thanks for the answer =)

Well, i know it is not Rana pipiens. This frog is native to Europe (Denmark)

My friend thinks the frog might be :

Rana ridibunda
Rana esculenta
Rana lessonae

    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?
