Anyone know what this could be? Illness? Physical wounds? Scarring? Do axolotls scar? I did not think that they did. Been in the hobby for 5 years. Kept axolotls for 4 years. Still have my original Axie.
So these white spots have been on this female axolotl for 4+ months. There is no sign of the spots spreading or getting bigger.
The spots are not fuzzy and are not able to be physically removed via Q-tip.The animal does not appear to be irritated or in pain. Eats well. Normal activity levels. There are 2 other axolotls in the same tank that are completely unaffected. Salt baths are ineffective. Adding salt to main aquarium is ineffective. Kanaplex medication is ineffective.
Tank is a 40 Breeder with no aquarium light, artificial plants, 3 pieces of driftwood, several large smooth stones, and 2 AC70 hob filters. Tank is cycled and has been established for nearly 2 years. Once a week water changes of 20-30%.
Water parameters:
Ammo: 0ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: <5ppm
pH: 7.8
Temp: 66°F - 70°F
