Male or Female ???

The male will develope a large cloaca (thats behind the back legs, at the base of the tail), while females have a smaller cloaca at sexual maturity
 
also the girls tend to have a rounder belly ;)

but neither of these differences show up until after they reach sexual maturity - and both are easier to see if you have something to compare them against...........if your lotls are youngsters you haven't got a hope!
 
To help you make the difference, here are 2 links of my little ones

    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?
