Tail problems

My axolotl seems to be shedding skin on one side of his tail. I don't think it's fungus as its a very faint grey colour and seems to be hanging of a bit, as if the skin has been sloughed off. The skin underneath is normal.
Is this normal for axolotls? Could it be fungus? Ammonia and pH levels fine and changing water to ensure no nitrate build up and is eating fine.
Any ideas?
 
Mine was shedding it's skin when I first got her. it went away after about 2-3 days. Completely normal/

    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?
