I believe this is a melanoid axolotl, but someone has cast some doubt!! I realise the other is a wild type.

Looks like one to me, though I'm no expert. ;)
 
How about a wild type with very little markings or a melanoid with more pattern than normal. I know we think of either or but my guess is this one is a little in between wild type and melanoid.
 
The first pic is a melanoid. It lacks the 'shiny ring' around the eye. Looks just like my guy.
 
Yes definately a melanoid, i had a couple in the batch of eggs you sent me.

    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?
