Fish don't survive on land.

Identification
This large aquatic salamander, commonly known as the Mudpuppy or Waterdog, has bushy maroon external gills behind the head. In warm or oxygen-poor water, the gills are more extensive and more brightly colored, whereas they are smaller and paler in oxygen-rich water. The majority of the body is gray or brownish-gray with blue-black blotches. The belly is lighter, generally pale gray or yellow, and may sometimes have dark spots. The tail fin is often tinged with orange or red. There are irregular dark stripes running through the small eyes, and each foot has four toes. Colors fade with age, and some older specimens may be almost black. Young and larvae can be striped with red, yellow, or dark stripes, while others are uniformly gray.

I don't know if the "Mudpuppies" you are referring to are the same, but I have kept Axolotl's before (salamander type water-creatures)

The name "Axolotl" comes from the Aztec language, "Nahuatl". One of the most popular translations of the name connects the Axolotl to the god of deformations and death, Xolotl, while the most commonly accepted translation is "water-dog" (from "atl" for water, and "xolotl", which can also mean dog). Hence maybe the same as Mudpuppies (?)

Us Australians (and New Zealanders) frequently refer to the Axolotl as the "Mexican Walking Fish".

Good luck.

Everyone, do some research. this is very interesting.
We are not talking amphibians here, we are talking fish.
There are a couple of types of Catfish which can survive for a short while on land.
One in the US and one in Africa and one in Asia that i know of. when their ponds dryup they take to the road and look for a new pond.
