Hey guys! I have this GFP axolotl who has a black spot on his side. When he was little, like about 2.5-3ish inches long, I noticed a tiny spot on him and just thought it was normal pigmentation, but as he grew bigger, the spot also grew bigger and he has no other pigmentation anywhere else. I also noticed that on 3 of his toes, the tips are black, but he's only about 5.3-5.5ish inches long and have not reached maturity ? He seems to be healthy to me. He swims around a lot like most smaller axolotls and he doesn't float, doesn't shed, has no fungus. He eats like a pig still. I was just wondering if this spot might become harmful. I have read the two posts: 1) http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-be...my-axolotls-head-its-growing-very-slowly.html 2) http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-be...62371-my-leucistic-axolotl-turning-black.html
Don't know if my situation might be like theirs? What do you guys think? Oh and random, but is he still too young to tell the gender?
Here are some water parameters:
Temp: 14 degrees C.
Nitrite: 0
pH: 7.4
Ammonia: 0
Nitrate: -- (don't have a test for that)
He has no real plants in his tank, only a plastic one and there's a cave for him. He's in a 10 gallon tank with a filter and an airstone.

And for fun :
Any help would be great. I hope it's nothing serious.
THANKS.
