My axolotl has red spots on it's body T_T help pls!!

I'm having real trouble seeing any red spots on your axolotl so I can't really comment. I know it's been said before but if you could get some clearer pictures it would really help people make an informed judgement and let you know either way.
 
Look at the pic again look near it's tail top part it is visible already and also i cant get a pic well because the dots are too small and light
 
I suspect it may be part of your axolotl's colouring. Keep the water cool and clean and keep an eye for any further changes.
Just out of curiosity, what do you feed your axolotl?
 
I'm inclined to agree with Julia. I don't really see anything wrong in those pictures.

If you're keeping the temperature on the warm side, she might be a little stressed, so she's a little more pink.

Tubifex are known to carry disease. They don't make the best food. Do you have access to earthworms? Or pellets? Pellets can be ordered online. Both of these are much better staple foods for adult axolotls.
 
I think I see what you are talking about and I agree with the other posts, looks like natural colouration. I know in other species that I have more experience with (chinchillas/hamsters/rats), individuals that are albino or white in colour are more prone to developing 'odd' skin markings as they age. I'm not sure if this is the case with Axolotls?

    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?
