Welcome to the forum.
Do you know what type of fire belly it is, if not look at this article Caudata Culture Articles - Firebelly
once you find out what fire belly it is look at some care sheets for housing and feeding Caudata Culture Species Entry - Cynops orientalis - Chinese firebelly
Caudata Culture Species Entry - Cynops cyanurus
Caudata Culture Species Entry - Cynops ensicauda
Caudata Culture Species Entry - Cynops pyrrhogaster - Japanese firebelly
here is a good guide line on food Caudata Culture Articles - Food Items for Captive Caudates
I hope you have the best of luck with your new friend;)
Any more questions feel free to ask.

    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?
