I have a male wild axolotl who I was looking to breed with my female,I don't know his background or where he came from except that he is a gfp wild,I was wondering if I could still breed him.
 
IMO, the question comes down to 'should' you. What is your goal?

Are you wanting to have the experience of raising a handful of eggs? Do you have the equipment to raise the larvae (and a means to acquire or raise live food)? Are you planning on keeping that larvae if they survive? If you need to sell, is there interest in your area for axolotls?
 
I've raised eggs before,this will be my third time,I'm just curious to see what their recessive traits are and what they produce.

    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?
