Pale patch on gills.

Its like the title says, my female axie has a pale patch on her gills (she's Leucistic) and her gills are a bright pink/red when she's awake but one of them has a small milky patch on it.
It doesn't looks like fungus, but still, I'd like to know what's wrong.
Also she's been n the quiet side, still eating well, but hiding a lot.

Also that gill stack has had spots of blood on it and looks slightly raggy, but no fungus.
That's my update.

Can you take a picture of the gill?
What is the water quality like?
Are you keeping her alone in the aquarium?

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    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?
