The four axolotl in the tank (Wildtype-male, Leucistic-female, Albino-mutant-female and Golden Albino-male), are siblings, born Dec 15, 2013. On Aug 29, 2014 they finally went to their final home, and got to interact with other Axolotls since being separated at around 3-4 months old due to nipping. As soon as they were introduced into the tank, the two males began to court each other. First the wildtype pushed the golden around the tank, putting his snout under the cloaca. Then the golden did the same. Both had significantly larger cloaca than the females, so I knew for sure their genders, but as soon as they were together in a tank, both had cloacas open up (can be seen in the video, about 1:15 mark), and they continued to attempt to mate with each other, showing little interest in the females.
Here's some pictures:
The mutant has 5 gills, and her head shape is quite odd:
