I've recently got four young axolotls from this guy. One out of the four seem to have white spots on the side that seem to stick out a little bit. I was wondering if it was something i need to worry about or not?
I keep this one separate from the others just incase its something they could get or if its just from stress.

The others are in a bare bottom tank. (Which I can give pictures for proof)
Their in a graveled one to keep them away from the others.

this is the lateral line system, which is a series of sensory organs on the face and body. this is normal.

however, the substrate is very concerning. axolotls can and will eat anything smaller than their head, and this can cause impaction and kill the animal.

if you say it is normal, ill move him back with the others then.
Here's a pic to show the other tank is a bare bottom.

some pictures (admittedly poor) of some juvies of ours with pigmentation on their lateral line systems

what tank was the other one separated in? housing an axolotl with another species can also be dangerous. moreover, the ripping on the tail of the copper is indicative of some cannibalism, so separating them permanently might be in order.

That's from when I got them from this one guy. Got them only a few days ago. (1/26/23 was when I got them) So any injuries they got are only just now starting to heal. The guy did not keep them in the best condition and even admitted to feeding them to each other beside the other things he was feeding them.
So far i've been keeping an eye on them all just in case that they did attack each other. If they do, then I will separate them. (The tank is in my room.) Their also only with other juvi's.
