If these are eggs then I think my Axolotls are very confused that or the lady I got them from a while back was incorrect on the sex .... ???????????? sorry bout the pics my camera flash is broken
is it possible for them to be (hermaphrodites) ? I mean that would explain a lot because the one who has testies like a male was said to be a Female and has always laid the lil clear jellies , Then one time the other one who was said to be my male which has a smooth bottom left lil sperm , now the one who produced the things in the pic below is the one who left the lil white sperm before so what's up ?

It does look like eggs, but that picture is very hard to decipher. If you have fertile eggs, you have one male and one female- no hermaphrodites. Are you sure the female wasn't picking up the spermataphores? They will pick them up with their cloaca and fertilization occurs inside the female. If the eggs are dark colored, they were layed by a wildtype, melanoid, or leucistic, so if your animals are different colors that could help identify which is the male. You can post pictures of them if you want us to try to sex them. Axolotl.org has an embryo development log that shows great pictures of eggs you can compare. I think they have a spermataphore pic also. The eggs look very much like frog eggs- a small brown or white dot inside a clear jelly coat. They will change shape as they develop. Spermataphores look like a jelly blob with a stalk and a white dot on top.
 
If I look really really hard, I think I see some little spheres that look like eggs :D

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu

    I believe my axolotl is constipated. I got him 8 days ago and have not seen any poop in his tank. I have a 20 gallon tank. No other tank mates. 2 hides and a bare bottom. I didn't feed him the last two days. His belly looks swollen and dark in color. I believe it is the food you can see. I fed him blood worms and soft quick sinking axoloty pellets. I tested his water today. Ph was 7.6. The nitrite and nitrate were both zero. The ammonia was 0.25 ppm. I was advised to cycle my tank due to the lack of nitrate. I added Seachem stability 10 ml to my tank yesterday and 5 ml today. I have a tank chiller. The water temp is set at 64. He is still active, but his tail floats up when he is moving about the tank. I am on the fence about fridging him. I also don't know how long to go without feeding him. I don't want to harm him. Please help asap. Thank you.
