My axolotl one year old (Hatched Novembee 11, 2016 on the dot!), and I would like some assistance in sexing it. Here are a few photos.
He's a little stressed at the moment, as you can tell, since I just finished with a partial water change.

Don't know if you've seen this

I have, but when I had a pair, I thought I had two of the same sex...and then they made it very clear that they were not the same sex. So I don't trust my judgement. I think they are a female, but I'm not sure. Just wanting a second opinion :)
 
Looks like a female to me, Males usually have a pronounced bulge at the cloaca. (Where the tail meets body)

Wish I could help but I can't. I do have the same question though. I am not sure how old my Axies are...they were purchased in June and I was told "they were hatched over winter break".

Both of them are recovering from severe moving stress, I am not even close to thinking about breeding them at this point. Maybe in 3-4 months depending. One of them is much smaller than the other, not sure why. They both do not seem to have very pronounced cloaca. Picture is of the smaller one.

    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?
