Random White Spot on Gills?

[Kal El]

I was thinking of getting some red sand

Many people have used coloured sand before, just make sure that it's aquarium safe.

Does anyone know of red plants that are good to put in the tank?

Try looking at this website for some inspiration: http://www.tropica.com/default.asp
You're going to want a plant that can tolerate the same environment as the axolotl. For instance, a plant can thrive in an environemnt with a pH of approximately 7 is good. Also, you're going to want a plant that has minimal light requirement.

Yea that is the problem I have right now, the pet shop guy talked me into this gorgeous purple sand telling me how great it is for fish tanks and then once i got it home I realized it is Calcium sand and slowly disolves into my water. whoopee. thanks for the advice I am always so glad you guys are around so I don't end up making horrible mistakes!

I wondered how the white spot turned out for thya. My albino axie Ghost just got something that looks the same this morning. I'll post picts tomorrow. I saw her fighting with my wild type Goblin a little yesterday, so it may be a bite. She's pretty sensitive, she's had some issues before, but she always heals pretty fast. I'm worried trying to cure her may be worse for her then the spot. I know she would hate salt water and being jostled in and out for baths. She's acting normal, eating, and is very alert of her surroundings.

This morning when I checked on Ghost the white spot was gone and the gill it was on is shorter then before. I'm guessing it was a bite and it broke off. Her gill looks good and pink now. I'll post again if her condition changes. As of now, I'm glad I didn't bathe her in salt right away.
