I came home yesterday and found about 100 or so eggs in the waltl tank. I thought all were female but who knows :p. I have never heard of waltl laying infertile eggs, none the less, heres some pictures. By the way, anyone want to confirm the gender of the wild type in that picture?

Congratulations!!!
Wonderful, hopefully I will get eggs soon too. They look fertile to me, here is a picture off CC, my guess is that they are fertile.

To me, that's looks like a female, its vent is tiny. But I am not sure, I don't keep Walti, just looks too small to be a male.

    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?
