This is my setup for a pair of crocodile newts. Is it a good setup?

I think that will work for this species. This species needs access to moisture, but thrives in a fairly dry environment, especially in terms of humidity.
 
It's an o.k. set up to maintain them. They like to swim. if you are interested in breeding them you will need a lot more water.
 
for some reason, they never seem to go in the water.
 
I got some wc ones this year, and it took them a while to get used to the water. I have them in a 50-50 setup, and they spend about 30% of the time in the water side.

    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?
