Hi just need some help on sexing as I’m now second guessing myself not sure if the boys have shrunk but one golden one melanoid and one wild type I guessed the golden and wild were boys and the melanoid was a girl but might need some other options now

Do you know how old they are? I don't see any big male bulges, though the photos aren't loading properly for me.

The melanoid looks like a female, the albino also looks like a female but there could be the beginnings of a male bulge. I would also need to know how old they are to know how accurate this guess is!

    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?
