If an egg makes an axolotl that's dark, the egg itself will probably be dark as well. Wild-type, melanoid, and leucistic are dark, golden albino and albino are white/pale.

Actually, it depends on the type that lays the eggs, not the type inside. If the eggs are laid by a leucistic, melaniod or wild type, the eggs will be dark. If they are laid by an albino, gold, or copper type, they will be light.

    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?
