Hi everyone! Long time lurker first time poster.
So, I'm looking to get a second axolotl since I've upgraded to a 40 gallon 3ft long tank. Thing is, I don't know the sex of my lil water sausage Tofu. I've been referring to him as a male but lately I've began to realise he may in fact be a she!
He's 11 inches long, really round. My friend likes to call him fat but his stomach is the same width as his head so he is a good weight.
I know that it's hard to sex an axolotl before sexual maturation with black finger tips being the main sign of that. But if any, more experienced people, can maybe tell me what way he's currently leaning I'd really appreciate it.
My other issue is, ideally, I'd like to raise another baby like I did Tofu. But it's a real 50/50 chance they'll be the same sex. If they're the opposite, I don't have room for a second tank. Rescue axolotls have crossed my mind or buying adults. But I'm in Scotland and they don't sell them in pet stores near me.
Again, any help would be appreciated!
