What would these babies be? They started out as brown with albino eyes. And progressed to looking albino.

If they continue looking albino, they're probably albino! If you shine a light on them, do they have "flecks" of shiny-looking material along their body? If so, they're golden albinos, who have iridophores but no melanophores. That could also explain the brown color when younger.

    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?
