Albino axolotl turningyellow

[deannamryan]

Can anyone tell me why my albino axolotl is turning yellow?

what are your water parameters ie.. temperature, ph, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, kh, gh.
what are you feeding him/her.
there can be numerous reason for yellowing from incorrect water parameters, organ problems, fungal, genetic.

I’m feeding him live worms nearly every day except weekends. Temp is between 65-70’f. I’ll check pH tomorrow. I could do more cleaning of the tank. I just bought a new filter.

Also, I wonder if it is fungal because a long time ago when he did have a fungal infection, it affected his gills more than his skin. Maybe this was because it was a different fungus?

columnaris tends to affect the gills, saprolegnia affects the skin.
65°f-70°f is way too warm, ideal is 59°f-64°f 59°f being best.
