Illness/Sickness: Black spots

[Shuichi]

I posted a while back about a sick axolotl. He recovered just fine but recently he's started developing black spots all over him, more keep appearing by the day. The temp is about 22 but I make sure the waters perfect after last time.

I'd appreciate any suggestions, I recently posted about an axolotl not eating and didnt get any replies. She passed away last week and I really don't want to lose another.

Looks like normal leucistic markings - freckles come and go on the head and spine.

If you can get your temp down with a fan it would be good.

Have you tested the water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH)? and what are you feeding them?
The axie in the picture looks a bit thin and the gills don't look good.

Here's the old thread that explains his gills

He's always looked thin, I feed him 1-2 earthworms a day, the others get 1 every other day. The parameters are fine, I clean him out everyday until I can get him back in the big tank.

@auntiejude
Thanks, I really hope that's the case. It's only happened over the last 3 days or so, so I panicked. It's spread a fair bit to his gills, (you can't really see on that picture) that's what worried me most.

The black spots are normal.. This is my axie as a baby and now he's got a black mask on his face from his freckles. He's changing all the time. They are still appearing on his back.

He should start putting weight back on if you continue feeding every day. My leucistic is similar, it's hard to put weight on him.

Here's a picture from today. He seems fine, he hasn't acted any differently from before so I think you may be right. Thank you both for the replies
