so nobody knows?
Even if some of the experts would hazard a guess I would be most appreciative..
I can get different photos if required, let me know what kinds of shots you need..
Unless they are in breeding condition I believe it's almost impossible to tell. Have you read: http://www.caudata.org/cc/articles/sexing.shtml ?
Many sellers claim to have "pairs" because they sell better. Cool them down and see what happens . With luck it'll become obvious.
The first photo looks exactly like the tail shape of my male hongkongensis. The second newt has a slimmer tail, but fatter abdomen, so it seems likely that the second is female. However, I'm notoriously inept at sexing newts, so I would bet any money on my ID. If they come into breeding condition, the male's tail should get a pale whitish stripe.
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?
