Hi, I have had two juvenile albino axolotls for about 2 months now. They are housed in a 55, with sand substrate and a couple plants. The water parameters are currently pH: 7.2 ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate:0. The tank was fully running and established over a month before they were added to the tank. They currently eat NLS pellets exclusively.
So here is the issue: last night I noticed one of my axies had pink (like an injury or irritation) on his hind foot. I was sad, but didn't think terribly much of it, because the axies sometimes snap at each other while eating.
This morning, however, he has another foot showing the same symptoms and now I'm getting very nervous thinking it might be the dreaded "red leg". I keep the tank impeccably clean and they have lots of water and space.
He has no other symptoms, behaviorally or physically. He looks good as ever other than his toes and he is just as active and always eats like a champ. Any help or advice would be marvelous. I can answer any other questions to help narrow things down. Thanks so much everyone.
