I bought two salamanders and got them all set up in their terrarium. Now I would like to know what breed the female is. I know the male is a off breed tiger salamander but I have searched the web for photo's of breed's that look like her and I can't find any. I need to know what her breed prefer's to eat, or if she need's special accomidation's. Please help...

Looks like an Eastern Tiger to me.

I think that tiger salamander is the likely ID. Tigers come in quite a range of colors/patterns. If the basic head/body shape is the same between the two sals, they are both tigers.
From the color of this one, the only other species that comes to mind is Dicamptodon, but this seems much less likely:
