My Axolotls Have a White Film on His Gills

Hello All,

I have looked around but have not really been able to find an answer for my particular case. I have two albino axies in a 30-gallon tank. I got them about a month and a half ago. I have noticed that as they've grown, they also are starting to get white-film looking stuff on the front of their gills. From what I have seen on forums and everything, most axies have pure pink or red gills so I don't know if I should start to worry about them? I'm attaching a couple of pictures to help. They have been eating regularly and have no abnormal behavior from what I can see.

Any help is appreciated!

Looks like typical golden albino coloration to me, unless I'm not looking at the right spot lol

Oh good, thanks for the quick reply! I'm new to owning axolotls so I was hoping I was just being a paranoid new parent :D
