Can anyone help identify these nightcrawlers?

I bought them from a local pet store labeled as "Mini-Crawlers". They're roughly 4.5" long.

They also carry "Canadian Nightcrawlers". Both are from the same farm/company called Sure Ketch. Eisenia hortensis? Lumbricus terrestris? It's hard to tell.

Yes, they are just the younger/smaller Lumbricus - Canadian nightcrawlers. I've used them, they're good.
 
Okay great thanks. This is the second tub I've bought, my newts love them. I was hoping they might be Eisenia hortensis so that I could culture them. From what I've read on here L. terrestrius is difficult.

    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?
