Ribbed newt breeding

Good evening all,
For the past couple weeks my pair of ribbed newts have been constant performing courtships. They even lock arms and commence in amplexus. My only question is that they’ve been doing this off and on for months, and neither one of them produces eggs or looks gravid. I don’t think they are full grown, nor do I know the sex of them. I’m really confused, because I’d actually like to breed them.

    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?
