Welcome to the forum.
Do you know what type of fire belly it is, if not look at this article Caudata Culture Articles - Firebelly
once you find out what fire belly it is look at some care sheets for housing and feeding Caudata Culture Species Entry - Cynops orientalis - Chinese firebelly
Caudata Culture Species Entry - Cynops cyanurus
Caudata Culture Species Entry - Cynops ensicauda
Caudata Culture Species Entry - Cynops pyrrhogaster - Japanese firebelly
here is a good guide line on food Caudata Culture Articles - Food Items for Captive Caudates
I hope you have the best of luck with your new friend;)
Any more questions feel free to ask.
Sam:happy:

Post a picture of it on this thread, and I'm sure someone will be able to identify it for you
