Hi everyone,

I have one male and two female axolotls that are over a year old. The male is making spermatophores each night (about 3-5). I have not seen the mating ritual, excessive movement, or eggs for the past week. Are my females not mature yet? Should I separate them?

Thanks!
 
Do you respond to every advance made to you?!
Maybe they are just not in the mood, maybe they don't fancy him, maybe they have no eggs, maybe they have headaches, maybe the just don't want to.
Just leave them to it, it will happen or it won't, there is nothing you can do except give them the opportunity.

    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?
