I agree. Thank you. Many pictures were scoured with no success. What procedure do you use for identification?
 
I have a pair of these, green monsters! I always thought they were just some variety of P chinensis.
 
Thank you for the information. After reviewing many pictures, it seems it is one of the below species:
Paramesotriton Qixilingensis
Paramesotriton Chinensis
Paramesotriton Honkongensis

We would like to identify the newt, purchase a mate, and breed pure off-spring. Can you recommend a definitive source to identify this newt?

    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?
