No, not a salt bath. I wonder if he has something stuck in his mouth. I have seen my newts look like that occasionally and it goes away later in the day, like they have food in there or something . Keep watching him.
 
I had this happen to a Taricha granulosa of mine, i have no idea why. It went away in a day or two. May i ask where you got these rivularis?

    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?
