Today while I was feeling my axoltols I noticed my one juvenile melanoid has this white patch near its back legs. Around his gills have always been absent of colour almost , like white but more opaque ... but I've never noticed this on his body before, is that just a normal colouration of his?
Also... when I was looking at his back, parts of it look also like a different texture. It looks almost like it's dry or something.
What could be the cause of this ?
I recently did a huge tank change , pulled up and rearranged alot of my live aquarium plants . I think in doing so I kicked up alot of nitrates so my levels have been high the past 2 days. I've done a water change already and it looks like my guy still has a great appetite other then the skin change.
I'm a new axi owner so I'm quick to jump to him being sick!
I would really appreciate any thoughts or comments you have !
