Hey,
I was just doing the setup on a new tank I purchased and was looking at my Axy The Other One or Mr. One for short.
He's rather old (over 7 years, but quite possibly more) and has always had white patches since I have had him (the past 4 years), they have never really changed. I was wondering, do older Axalotls often suffer from pigment loss or is this a kind of non-spreading fungus? He's always willing to eat, enjoys a good swim around, doesn't really float around the top and has put on a fair amount of healthy weight since I got him - he was close to death 4 years ago.
Here is a photo that shows the spots across his body.

BTW: Don't panic too much about the tank it's still a work in progress and still needs to be planted out and have bigger gravel put in.
