Question: What's wrong with my Axolotls??

[elizebeth2123]

They look bumpy and odd to me, this just started a few days ago. Appetite is fine, both eat a cube of frozen blood worms a night, I did a complete water change to clean gunk out of rocks right around the time the bumps appeared. Right now they're in a 10 gallon tank with stones in the bottom....soon I want to upgrade them to at least a 45 gallon with sand substrate to keep decaying worms to a low. Anyway, here are some pics I took with my phone, please help! I don't want them to die or anything to happen to them! We've only had these guys for about a month....I've been fascinated with them for years though.

What are your water parameters? I've read on here that if you let the bottom of the tank get dirty it will lead to bacterial infections starting with the toes that makes them turn white and fall off which is what i'm seeing with yours. You're going to need to clean the tank and make sure its cycled otherwise provide very frequent 100% water changes until your axolotl is healed.

I don't have a kit right now, I plan on buying one tomorrow so I can check everything. I did a complete water change just a few days ago as I noticed their heads seamed a bit bumpy, their feet look normal to me :/ they just look bumpy and almost as though they're shedding They're also floating more than normal.
