Hello! I've noticed my Albino Axolotl has been turning red and i've heard on the internet that albinos sometimes change to a more pink/red color.
Please, is this natural, or are these ammonia burns? If they're ammonia related i'll make sure to change the water right now.

Here are some photos:

albinos don't have any skin pigmentation so the skin is quite translucent, this means any increased surface blood flow is quite noticeable giving a flushed/pink appearance, this increase in blood flow can be caused by increased exertion/movement, increased temperature, as well as issues with water parameters.

Thank you so much. I will make sure to monitor parameters and temperature to make sure everything is fine.
Again, thank you.

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
