Hi, recently my 8 year old Axolotl changed its colour on his head and white spots going through his back.
please could someone tell me what is it?

I’m not sure how to post stuff but I think I’ve done it right.
Any info would be appreciated ❤

Oh my, how strange. 8 years old? I know as some get older they develop spots. Mine is getting some as she ages but like, how suddenly did this color change occur? Is he still eating and asking fine?

I had to transport her to small black container doing water changes daily, today I’m gonna start with salt bath for 10 mins. I was thinking it’s final infection. She’s getting more and more white on her head towards all her body. She seems fine, eating, greeting me in the morning. She’s 8 years old never had any problems like this before. Recently I’ve bought her new tank as other one broke.
Did everything the same.
But bought her some aquarium live plants.
She was eating them. My other axolotls had them as well they eat it all but never gained any white spots .... only her.

Any updates? Salt baths are very harsh on them, id avoid them until certain it's any sort of infection.

If you don't notice any change in behavior, eating, etc, be calm! Watch if the skin has any sort of bubbles, flakes, more slime, is falling off and so on.
If it's only the color change, I've seem a lot of older axolotl turning white, something like VITILIGO. It's not dangerous and common.
Cheers!
