Worms!

They are frequently called Lumbricus rubellus, but probably comprise a mixture of species.
As to the speed at which different species reproduce, that will depend on the conditions, so is going to be different in each case. At higher temperatures (above 20C) Dendrobaenas will often reproduce faster than E.foetida.
 
Not according to Kelly Slocum, actually I have read that hortensis prefer cooler temperatures to foetida. Hortensis are considered a bad compost worm due to its much slower reproduction rate compared to foetida.

    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?
