Hi there,

I've got someone who wants to rehome their male paddletail and I am thinking of taking him as I already own a paddletail but we both want to make sure they are both of different sexes. His has bred before but his female died,
Pretty sure ours is a female but can anyone clarify?

Please see the pictures

Many thanks

I would say probably a female Pachytriton granulosus. Species can be very hard to ID, and my confidence on gender is generally low.
 
Almost certainly female. Be prepared to separate them if they don't get along. It might be fine, but you are taking somewhat of a risk putting any two paddletails together.

    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?
