Hello I need some help sexing my axolotls. I have 3 but could only get pictures of 2 >.<;

First up is Simon s/he is the first 2 pictures.

Then there is Waffle. S/he is the second 2 pictures.

Sorry for the poor quality I had to take them on my phone. >.<;

Anyways the help is much appreciated.

Are you sure they are axolotls? They look a bit odd, almost andersoni to me, but I'm not an expert. Maybe someone else can shed some light.

How big are they and how old? If they are under 8" (and they are axolotls) and under a year you can't really guarantee their gender.

I bought them from a breeder here on caudata.org, they were labeled as Axolotls so I'm hoping they are haha. I guess yeah they are too young to sex. They are around 7 months. Simon (My biggest) is roughly 6 inches. I don't have a ruler to check though.

Now I'm worried that I will need to start saving for a Tiger Salamander setup. xD

Pretty positive that's an axolotl, very wide tail fin but his fingers look like axy.
Can't help you on the sexing as he is too young but I do know that when their gills curl forward like that it isn't very good. Yours don't look too bad & otherwise he looks healthy to me but when one of mine was sick that was what I was told.
Good luck sexing in the future
