Hey everyone, the other day, I finally decided to go check out what looked like it might be a stream down the road from my house off a dirt road, and I found out its actually a really long stream, it is completely covered by trees and plants so doesn't really get any direct sun but was really pretty, and it had a couple small water falls in it the biggest one was 3 feet or so, I do believe it to be spring fed and I had brought my nets, and and containers so I could take pics of anything I found but I was only able to get one good picture before my phone died, and I was hoping someone could help me ID this little guy I found.

I was walking along the stream, and there were some fast moving areas, and I found a slower moving area with some rocks so I started to turn some over some rocks and that's when I saw him dart out and start swimming down stream a few feet so got him with my net but it was in the water. I live in south west georgia, maybe the location will help with identifying it.
Hopefully someone has and idea of what it might be :)

I took as many pictures of it as I could to help with identifying it, made sure my phone was charged this time lol

About ten feet up the stream I found these little guys, maybe they are the same kind just larvae

Again I took as many pics as I could to try and help ID them lol but one thing I think might help ID the larvae is that around their eyes are black, that's the only distinguishing thing I have noticed on them, hopefully the pics help, and can't wait to did out what they are, thank you to everyone who helps :)

The one in the second picture is the same as the one in the first picture, it just has a shorter tail cause something bit it or something

    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?
