I just got an Axolotl that’s about 8 months old. I’m not sure if it’s male or female so far I think it might be female but seems a bit skinny? I know sometimes you can’t determone they’re gender until 12months old but anyone want to take a guess I’m thinking female?

Looks female. Size is more important than age. I've bred axolotls at 6 months old (yep).

    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?
