Don't give up hope yet. I've had batches that didn't move much at all. They still look okay to me. When they die, or just stop developing you can usually see the embryos begin to decay. Eggs get fuzzy and the basic shape of the babies becomes distorted looking.

If that pic is current, those larvae aren 't developed enough to hatch yet. They will have obvious tiny gills developed when they are ready, and they will be longer. Axolotl.org has a great embryo development log for step by step pics of developing eggs.

I agree with the above, when the axies are ready to hatch they litrally look like tiny legless axies they have gills and eyes and everything! Hatching date depends on heat and the general individual development time. ive had eggs that hatch 5 days apart but were all layed the same day

Okay well u can kinda see tiny gills but barley and the eggs looks all fuzzy looking

Your eggs look good. Fuzzy ones will look cottony. Here is a pic of a batch of eggs that I had back in February.

There are additional pictures of their development.
