is it possibly to have a albino red spotted newt? 3 of the 30 or so larva i have are very very light almost clear looking whereas the others are very dark could these possibly be of albino or some abnormal pigmentation? or is this normal for some larva to be nearly transparent compared to the others?

It's possible to have an albino anything. Albinism is a mutation in color genes, and with the right combination, poof! albinos. They could be albino, or just abnormally colored. Wait until they grow up and see.

    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?
