My Lucy axolotl has had these red spots all on his body. It’s most visible don his tail
They don’t seem to be affecting him.
He’s eating about 3 euro night crawlers a day. He’s in a 33 long with sand he was previously in a 15. I have him tubbed now because I’m adding ammonia to the tank to ensure it has enough bacteria for 2 axies, only did this because I upgraded the tank and plan on getting another axie. She is a presumed 8 month old she’s not lethargic or anything and the spots aren’t raised. I took him to the vet twice they said they could do a biopsy but it may be inconclusive, it was 200 dollars so I didn’t do it. They said that he might just be developing pigment, but I’m not sure the vet said it’s definitely not red leg. So that’s a relief. Any input would be extremely helpful cause I’m feeling hopeless as to finding the cause of this. I will attach parameters and pictures below.
ph: 7.8
Tank is cycled
20 ppm of nitrate sometimes 40
