Chickpox like spots

[Ryuusuke]

are these tiny red spots normal for a growing axolotl?
Was not previously there

 

[wolfen]

would need more info such as temperature/ph/ammonia/nitrites/nitrates, also if possible kh/gh.
I side view may be helpful.

He not in a tank right now?

 

[Ryuusuke]

no not right now

 

[Autistic Catholic]

Have the spots developed? Red spots could be bacterial infection, but difficult to tell from your picture.

 

[Ryuusuke]

not right now, still the same

 

[wolfen]

no not right now

even though he is not in the tank right now ammonia should still be monitored as it can build up quite quickly.

 

[Ryuusuke]

0ppm, unless they poop, then ill water change

 

[Autistic Catholic]

Are you certain they're red spots and not a more darker color like black or grey???

 

[Ryuusuke]

Yes, i just double checked they are red. little less then before though

Was he in his tank prior to tubbing? It could be ammonia burns he's recovering from.

if your water has chloromines then unless you are using a dechlorinator that bind/detoxes ammonia then you will have traces of ammonia, also axolotls don't just poop they also urinate so they produce waste into the water even when it looks clean.
test for ammonia after 12 and 24 hrs as the tub can be to small and allowing ammonia build up.
also scrub the tub well when cleaning as bacteria build up in plastic tubs can cause rot and septicaemia.
