I’ve had my axie for about a month now and she’s had this white splotch on her cheek since I got her. It isn’t fluffy or flakey so I don’t think it’s fungus? But I can’t find anything similar online
Also, in the photo from Sep. 20 the tips of her gills are changing color? They were brown like the rest of her and now today they are a bright red
Should I be worried?!

I'd say it's colouration. I don't think there's anything bad about the gills changing colour. I wonder if one of the parents were a copper or leucy? It could be where the gill colour is coming from. Wild's usually have purple gills, but I could be mistaken!

looks fine to me, as long as they aren't losing filaments or the gills are not curling

    as long as its not freezing they should ship fine. I usually ship mine in 2 days priorities like axolotl. insulation and some cold pack. Is this morphed or still a larvae?

    I currently have a 3 year old axolotl, he hasn't been eating for the past couple of weeks and has lost a lot of weight. Hedwig usually eats bloodworms and earthworms just fine but now he won't even stud it. I've done a water change to make his nitrate lower and his water is at a good temperature

Also if anyone could tell if it’s a boy or girl that would be great! (Zolo was eating a worm and pretty sure the worm pooped XD)
