How do I tell if P. chinensis eggs are developing? I want to sell them but I don't want some unlucky buyer to get duds.

Wait a week, if they have become cloudy or been attacked they are probably duds. If after a week they are still clear, change shape/ C shaped you know they are viable. Keep in mind the first round of eggs can have a high failure rate and even cloudy eggs can still be developing (especially with paramesotriton).

    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?
