what would be suitable diet for Bufo bufo after metamorphose?
 
Bufo bufo are not fussy eaters, I would recommend field sweepings as the main part of the diet if possible and top up with all the usual feeder insects.
 
Newly metamorphosed Bufo bufo are surprisingly small and struggle with melanogaster. Start off with springtails and aphids and you should be on to melanogaster in a couple of weeks.
After a month or so start training them to take worms such as whiteworms then later, earthworms.
 
Their size upon metamorphosis can vary, depending on how much space and food the tadpoles had. small ones are much more difficult to rear than larger ones (which are still very small) but they do have a head start.
If youre currently rearing some tadpoles, try to make them as big a possible (dont overcrowd, clean regularly etc)

    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?
