I have had a leucistic axolotl for two years now and he has been perfect. I wanted another axolotl so he could have a buddy. I went to purchase one his size and only when I got home I realized it was a female. I had done a lot of research on breeding axolotls so I thought I could handle if they had eggs. They get along real well, often laying on each other it’s very sweet. My male axolotl started leaving sperm cones everywhere in the tank. My female just ignores them all. Does that mean she doesn’t like him or is she just not interested? Odd question but just wanted to figure out if she’s happy. (I attached a picture of the female below)

Maybe you just actually do have two males on your hand??? IDK...do you have pictures of both axolotls? I'm certain someone can tell if you have two of the opposite sex or not.

Dark one is very large and has no testicles
Pink one is smaller and has testicles
Both two years old
I’m unsure as to why the dark one ignores the cones but she seems happy otherwise 🤷🏼‍♀️

It is common for a male axolotl to deposit lots of spermatophores during courtship. The female can only pick up one because after she picks one up it acts like a temporary plug.
