You can't tell how old they are unless you know the date of hatch. If they're starting to come into sexual maturity (females will get rounder with eggs, males will develop a cloaca), they could be between 6 and 18 months of age.

If they aren´t the same sex , In time you will start to notice some differences in their bodies. When they are small you can see some differences like the males have larger heads and smaller bodies, and more things that you will learn to notice if you ever have eggs, and breed some axies

I was wondering if you could help me? what size tank do you have them in? and what temp is it at. they look like very happy axolotls. have you ever had cotton wool fungus with either of them?

 

[maja]

na i just think it was tired

hehe.. it did it right after i took the pictures..
maybe i just have to wait some more time, till they get bigger..

 

[maja]

oh sure they are in the big tank now.. ( 260ltrs ) but i have a 60ltrs made for them but theres to much nitrit in.. the temp is around 24c, its hard to keep it cooler..

^ .. ? what is cotton wool fungus ?

 

[joão]

to know what cotton fungus is do a search in the forum and you will find some posts with photos about it.
Maja I think you are right , on the second picture the one in the front I´m almost sure that is a female and the other a male.
It is hard to tell by the photos, I usually can tell really early cause I had have at my work axies eggs,so many times.
