Hello there!
Im not sure if this is the right place, but I wanted to make sure my axolotl is not ill.
Ive owned this one for about a year and a bit now, and every since then he has had this marking on his head. I dont think its harmful, but i just want to make sure. Attached are some photos

please let me know what you guys think and if it is bad, how to cure him!
 
You know, I was quite honestly expecting a light axolotl with a dark spot, that's entirely the other way around. he's had that the entire time you've had him? Looks like just a patch where there's no pigment for whatever reason, it doesn't look irritated or raised up or anything along those lines. I'm no expert,but I would guess that's just one of those things, just a bit if uniqueness in your axie.
 
I've seen some other wild types with markings like that I don't believe its illness just pigmentation! It almost looks like a concentrated patch of iridophores! I don't think it's anything to worry about

    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?
