Question: Axie changing colour

[Charlesswatkins]

Hi guys,
I don't know if anyone has ever heard of this/experienced this before, but my axie was wild coloured (unfortunately I don't have any photos because my phone broke and I lost them all) but then when he got to about 4 I noticed his gills were getting pinker and gradually he's become leustic. I've never heard of this before and wanted to check he was alright! He's still got black toes but the rest of him is white?

Black toes are normal. It happens quite a bit the whole changing colour. Nothing to worry about!

I have never heard/seen a Wild Color Axolotl turning into a Leucistic before...

Is that even possible?

It's called vitiligo -the same as in humans. The pigment cells gradually stop producing pigment. Completely harmless.
