That´s a larva of some salamander, hard to tell, possibly Desmognathus sp.?, it´s an entirely aquatic creature at this stage and you should not be picking it up out of water, you are stressing it and risking it´s health.
 
I'm thinking P. ruber, but I wouldn't bet my last dollar on it!
 
I think it is either a Desmognathus or Eurycea species, however, I'm leaning towards Desmognathus.

    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?
