Okay so I have one large Triturus dobrogicus larvae, still has external gills. This guy was the sole survivor of my breeding efforts this year, he ate a number of his cohorts and now resides alone in a 10 gallon. Do I need to worry about this guy drowning like a C.o. morph? I have looked at some old threads and I am getting the impression they absorb their gills and start looking more like the adults but staying aquatic.
 
You don´t have to worry, they can make the whole transition in the water. It´s a very good idea to offer a piece of cork bark or something of the like so that it can haul itself temporarily out of water. It won´t become terrestrial.

    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?
