Male Mating Dance but no female

My female is in other side of tank with a divider and the two males are on the other side.
I have noticed my males bits have got all swollen and puffy and they have started their mating dance and dropping their seed.
Can they sense the female is close by and this is why they are doing it or are they typical males just like the human kind that need to release their seed frequently?

They might be able to sense that she's there, or maybe they're into each other or just a bit confused that one of them isn't a female, lol.

Sometimes they just get a bit frisky I think.
When it was winter here my male dropped his spermatophores quite often (at least 4-5 times over about a month or so) all over the place.

They're more of a 'drop seed, ask questions later' type breeder. That axolotl may or may not be female, but why take the risk? Better try to mate with it anyway!

    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?
