Females tend to be rounder to allow room to expand for eggs. Obviously if a female is underfed it won't be round. A healthy female will be round with a small vent. Makes are generally longer, slightly slimmer and an enlarged vent.

Females tend to be rounder towards the back end - pear-shaped. Males tend to be the same width all the way down their torso. But this is only apparrent once they are mature.

    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?
