Default New and unsure (axolotl eggs) :/

Hi :) Im totally new to this so please bear with me if this is a stupid question... I received 10 eggs through the post today, Half of them are milky white or looking deformed I have 3 that are looking ok. Theyre not moving at all in the eggs, is this normal? Once they hatch (if!) Im planning on using an empty take away container for the time being to make feeding easier - do I put the lid on the container or leave it open? Also, at what stage can I then transfer them into a tank? The tank Im currently cycling is 30inches long by 13 inches wide.

Thanks in advance :)

How are they now? Yes, you can raise them in a take away container, but be sure to keep it scrupulously clean.

Milky white? Sounds like fungus to me.. but that usually only happens to 1 or 2 eggs out of a couple hundred for me. The deformation could just be all the stages the eggs go through.
