is this female fire salamander pregnant
 
No. It doesn't especially strike me as a female either. It's not very wide.
 
o she is if i put her against my male you would see il put a pic of them both and see wat you think
 
my male of female or are they lol
 
Post a picture of the cloaca, that will end the speculation xD
I don´t think it looks particularly femalish or gravid, either. When they are gravid they get HUUUUUGE, far bigger than your animal. Plus, your animal doesn´t even coutn as fat, regardless of being gravid or not. I´d try to get both of them to gain a little more weight.
 
Will do. Just give me a moment to take the pic, lol, and thank you for the advice.

I´m sorry, it´s a bad pic. Male at top, female at bottom.
 
The first one is male for sure, the second one i´m having doubts. I´d say female, but the cloaca is broad and slightly too bulging, so it could be an underdeveloped male.

Ok. Thank you very much for your reply. I think i just thought she was pregnant because she started getting fat. Thanks again:D

    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?
