Yes, getting close - how many days since they were laid?

The ones with black down their back are probably wildtypes. They will develop a yellow, tan or green base colour with black speckles, and get darker as they grow. They could also be leucistic, but they usually hatch with very few dark markings. You won't know until they are a week or 2 old.

    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?
