Will siblings breed?

Hey,

If you kept male and female Axolotls in the same tank, and they were siblings would they breed?

Not sure but it probably isn't a good idea even if they will because genetic problems are more common when you keep breeding within the same gene pool. I know with my guppies when they breed with their siblings, etc, more of the babies die.

Yes they will breed. Axolotls are highly inbred anyhow so allowing inbreeding is a particularly bad idea with them.
