The copper is a male and dirty Lucy is a girl
 
Btw i was cleaning our their 20 gallon tubs. These aren't what I keep them in.
 
Only one way to find out! Put them in the same tank and see what happens. Just keep a close eye on them and make sure each has a place to hide or get away from the other.
If you see damage due to aggressive behavior, get a tank divider or put them in separate tanks. I have a pair that has spawned three times now - yet still they can get very mean with each other.
 
Just one more detail : once she has laid her egs, the female will need to be particularly well fed since she will form future new eggs in her ovaries.

Both seem big enough to be fed with something bigger than bloodworms (canadian nightcrawlers for example)

I have a worm farm, I just gave them some blood worms due to defrosting to much but thank you so much for this information I appreciate it.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
