Hi guys I have these newly morphed salamanders and I can't tell what species they are. That are just under two inches long. And came out of they water about a week ago and they don't have any bright colors on them so here are they pictures…

almost sure those are Ambystoma maculatum. Give it a few more weeks and you should be able to ID them easily. Those are about 2-3 inches?

They look a lot like my blue spotted metamorphs. They started to get blue flecks a couple weeks out of the water. Update when they get their color!

    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?
