Yes, the first number means the number of species that are male, the second indicates number that are female, the third indicates the number that have unknown gender. If there is no male/females, a zero is shown (ex 0.1 Ambystoma mexicanum), and if no unknown, the last number is usually left off (unless numbers are shown in a list). Hope that makes sense.

You guys are awesome. Thank you for the quick response. Is this a science thing or did someone on here come up with that method?

    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?
