Hello

I have 2 five year old Axolotls.
One dark and one Albimo. I’m just concerned because my far one has been getting not raised or fuzzy or bacteria like white dots but just a pigment coloration different. I thought maybe it was a mark where he had hit something or bumped into something, but then it had not gotten more. I will post pics below

any suggestions on if it’s ammonia burn and that’s what it looks like on the dark Axolotls ? Maybe chlorine burn? Idk any suggestions would help.

they have no signs of not eating or circles tails, the albino is fone.

the only other issue I have with the black one is the feathers on the gills have went down and now are slowly
Growing back. I was doing water changes more then I was before so I was wondering if it could be because of the water , but I use a water conditioner but, this has been a weired problem I can’t figure out.

The pictures are how u can see the change on how
Much the white has come in through the last 7 months or so

Completely normal. Darker pigmented axolotls (mels and wilds) usually develop patches of lighter pigment as they age. It's not vitiligo, but think of it like that.

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
