Hello. I have two leucistic axolotls called Ziggy and Snowflake. I had a wild type Axolotl called Toothless but she died about two weeks ago to a spherical fungus like substance spreading over her gills. She often stopped eating as well. I believe she was going through metamorphosis as she was losing her gills, her tail fin was almost nonexistent and she was developing white spots on her skin. Now my Axolotl Ziggy appears to be naturally morphing. I’d include pictures but I don’t know how (help with that would be appreciated). His tail fin is tiny compared to photos I have of him from a few months ago and his eyes bulge outwards. He still hasn’t developed eyelids. However, he has turned extremely pink and you can see red veins all the way across his body. He and Snowflake have also both developed the same circular fungus Toothless had on the back of their gills. I can see white slimy stuff flaking off their skin and the local pet shop says that’s their external immune system coming off. I can’t bear to lose another Axolotl. Please help. I have placed a platform in the water for him to climb out of the water. I have a few questions: could Toothless’ metamorphosis somehow triggered Ziggy’s, is it unusual to have two Axolotl siblings and only one morph, how long will it take, what are the red veins and what should I do.
