Leucistic Colour change?

[Holly12]

Stelly has been totally normal other than the one tiny white tip on the one gill - separate post about that - but I noticed today, he looks a slight reddy/orange going along his top fin and down over his hind end.

Do they change colours or is this bad?

Re: Leucistic CoLourdes change?

My leucistic had some white tip problem before but wasn't yet turn red or orange , at first I thought it might be fungus so i used The almond leaf extract . It didn't seem to change anything . I used pimafix ( in the tub) and at first it seems to works but then it went back again not long after. So I went and checking on everything and the only thing I can think of is that my water had change this pass few months ( city pipes had been change) it's quite soft and completely 0 alkaline. Soft water can be very harmful , it can cause anemia , then many other problem will follow. I could be wrong about this so please check your water and listen what other may say about it.

Thanks for your reply.

We are on an artisan well. It just fills itself. We do have a softener but I use water from the bypass so it's hard. The pH is also 7.6 to 8.

So then that must be fungus no doubt . API pimafix will help with the red belly& tail rash, plus the gill fungus , that's 2 things pimafix does very well. My axolotl love this product , it's natural extract from bay tree . Make water feels so nice and my axie gill very fluffy.
