Hello

I have two axolotls, one golden albino and other albino.

Up to a few weeks ago, I thought I had 1 male and 1 female as the male has an obvious large bump behind the rear legs and the female didn't and also has a shorter rounder body.

However, in the last week or so, it looks to me like what I thought was the female, has also developed a bump behind the rear legs, so can someone on here please confirm if the attached pics are of a female or male?

Thanks

looks like two males, one of which possibly being a dwarf.

    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?
