no its the black bits on behind her leg, it looks like her skin is rotting....temp=17 ph=7.2.. ammonia nitrate and nitrite levels are all good.... I have 3 others in the same tank and they all seem fine..
There are a couple of other threads with similar black type things around the opening - it could be parasites but I am definitely not an expert.
Are you able to take some more pics of the area & also one of the tank.
Are there any others sharing the tank like fish or snails?
How long have you had this axie - did he have the black things when you got him?
Has anything new been introduced to the tank environment?
Could you supply the water parameters
Ammonia / NitrIte / NitrAte & temperature. Is the tank cycled or a new set up - how long has it been running & how often are you doing water changes?
Sorry for all the questions - the more you can answer & post more pics - the more experts on here can try & see what is the problem.
You've definitely come to the right place & the experts on here are wonderful, so please don't panic.
I'll try & find the other threads on parasites & link them here - just to see if there are any other similarities.
