I took these pics in a market in South China.
It is obviously a semiadult Paramesotriton, but which species?

I concur. Ironic that what's in a pet market in the Hong Kong vicinity [export point for oddball southern species] is what is commonly shipped from Shanghai as one of three newts common THERE.

    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?
