Paddle taile newt eggs

Hi. I have some pachytriton eggs. What is the best way to keep them. I only have about 7or 8 (the female is quite small). I have them in a tank with bare bottom, some weed and a few rocks. The water is about 14oC. Do I need afilter, or will this disturb/suckin the eggs. They were only laid a few days ago and are still completely undeveloped. Also, I have two paramesotriton. They will only feed on small amounts of defrosted bloodworm. They will not even look at erthworms or waxworms. What else can I try (they are in a completely aquatic setup as when I tried them with divider, they never left water even though the langd had plenty of plants/food/hidingplaces)

    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?
