My wild type axolotl stumpy has white spots on his belly and I just noticed one on his face. I've only had him a week now and I'll post a photo as soon as possible. I'm not sure if this is natural pigment or a fungal infection.
 
If you have a read through here:
Axolotls - Health & Diseases

you may just find the precise answer you're looking for.

Obviously without pictures it's hard to make a diagnoses, but I hope you can find some information on axolotl.org - it's my personal "axolotl bible"!

Hope everything turns out fine :)
 
the tank temperature has been noticeably high lately so I have been floating ice bottles in the tank which seems to have reduced it. So i am assuming its fungus, if it gets worse I'll give him/her salt baths.
 
Yea that would have been my first quest. It's been really warm in my area recently so I'm a nervous wreck! Freezers filled to the brim with ice bottles.
 
oh dinky you seem to have white leucistics, the young leucistic that I ordered online came very spotty its only 6 cm long. will it turn white? :confused:

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
