Hi all, first time poster here,
My axolotl has had this recurring black spot/fungus, and I've tried to do a fair bit of research as to what it is / what's causing it but have had no luck.
Any help would be very appreciated!
My axolotl is 2 years old, full grown, has a steady appetite, and is active. His gills don't show signs of deterioration or fungus. And they're a nice vibrant colour when he's active.
About a year ago I noticed this black mark on his mouth that was never there before, after some tea baths it went away. but it's been a constant coming/going process throughout this year. Recently it has been more prominent and larger and I've noticed a smaller spot.
I currently have a few Indian Almond Leaves soaking in his tank and am hoping to see some progress soon but am unsure if I'm doing everything I can...
Tank parameters: Ammonia 0ppm , Nitrites 0ppm and Nitrates 20ppm
Temp: 63°F
Does anyone know what's causing this? What it is? And what else I can do about it?
Thank you so much
