I noticed about 3/4 weeks ago my Axolotl had some spots on him and since then more have appeared. Not sure really what to think of it as I haven't seen anything like this
from others. Could this be some sort of fungus or infection on his skin? When I look at it though it almost seems like its under his skin a bit.
He is 5 years old, do Axolotls develop freckles this late in life?

Water temp is at 65/66 F consistently
No abnormal behavior, eating fine.
PH is at 7.8, testing with API master test kit/Liquid drops.
Ammonia is 0
Nitrate is .20
Nitrite is 0
Tank is bare bottom, no other fish or plants in tank aside from moss balls.
Diet is bloodworms/earthworms/shrimp

Thoughts?

looks like ageing spots, because they aren't red they don't seem to be health related, keep an eye on them anyway though.
