Hi there!
I've recently got 2 axolotls one Golden Albino and one Wild in hoping to breed. The golden albino i'm guessing is a female she's 6 inches and the wild one i'm briefly guessing is a male. What's weird is, the albino looks as if she sometimes has dark toe tips (for maturity) but sometimes not, the wild however has light toe tips but an undeveloped cloaca. I was wondering if even in these situations would axolotls breed? They're currently in the same tank and they get along fine, sometimes gives each other kisses but i really want to know if they would breed since they're so young still it wouldn't be the best.
Also, would the length of gills sometimes determine their sex?
Thank you!
 
They're probably still too young to say.

Gill length has no correlation to gender.

    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?
