Cloudy Eggs?

My axolotl female laid over a hundred eggs and only a few of them have clear membranes (so that you can perfectly see the yolk/embryo) as in the photos on your site. The rest have a milky/foggy color to the membranes - you can still see the yolk/embryo inside but they are semi-opaque. Does this mean they are infertile or is there something else wrong with them. They seem to have developed a somewhat and have halted a bit.
 
Usually means they're infertile. Healthy eggs should stay reasonably clear until hatching.

    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?
