Any idea what these could be? My axolotl seems happy, healthy and fine, but I noticed these came up a few weeks ago. He is almost 2 years old. He is in a tank alone and all tank perimeters are checking out fine. Is it something to worry about? I’ve seen this on pics of other axolotls.

Hi! They are actually really cool looking!! Your axoltol now has a face right side up and upside down :p. Anyways, axolotls, especially lighter axolotls, tend to develop brown spots as they age, and most tend to be around the mouth. As long as the bumps don’t seem textured (poking out, like a mole) and your axoltol seems to be doing fine, I wouldn’t be worried. If they are poking out, it’s possible that it’s fungus. But it is very uncommon for fungus to grow around the mouth of the axolotl. He looks wonderful to me :).
