How old is your new one, Jackie? If full grown, looks like a female to me. Cool colors too, love to see the rest of "her"!
 
How old is it? But its toe tips APPEAR darkened, which indicates maturity..in which case I believe it is female.
 
Most likely female, but there's no way to be 100% sure.
 
I will ask,I just was so excited I didnt think of asking,

she/he is about 6 inches long and quite round,the others that she was with were the same size but they all had very swollen and large cloacals.I picked this one because she was the most active and the prettiest.:happy:

he/she doesnt have dark tips to her toes and fingers,they are lighter

In dark axolotls the toe tips lighten at sexual maturity, i believe.

I would say possibly too young to sex just yet.

    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.
