Why my Triturus marmoratus doesn't lay eggs?

Dear, friends!
I have kept Triturus marmoratus for two years. They are all well feeded and in good status. I introduced them into water at the late of February and males began give birth to crest. However, no egg was found by now. Three females all looks like pregnant.Do you know why? Temp now is 22.

The temperaturen is too high for breeding I assume. I've bred my marmoratus this year at 12-17 degrees Celsius watertemperature.

Your set up looks beautiful. I like to add some slate pieces to the bottom to give the males a place to deposit their spermatophores.

Slate pieces are very good. But my tank has 6 layers. I have to worry the weight capacity.

    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?
