Hello, forum,
I recently acquired a nice female golden albino axolotl. I've had her for about a month and during the last three days I've been noticing some peculiar-looking growths coming out from her skin. I must apologize for not providing good pictures for I do not have an adequate camera that is able to capture what I will be discussing.... so far I have been unable to find threds or pictures that describe similar symptoms.
Behaviour and eating habbits: completely normal.
She seems to have thin, transparent, hair-like growths (about .5 CM) erupting vertically from about 5 different places of her body (including between the gills, behind the gills (on the torso), and one on her right "elbow").
These growths are not all similar either: the ones on her gills appear to have small, transparent "branches" that look like bronchioles.
The growth on her elbow sticks out vertically and splits into two (like a "Y"). It is erupting from a small reddish bump.
Additionally, she has developed what looks like a sore on the back of her head-- See picture
(Don't worry, I don't keep her in this small bowl)

I am becoming increasingly concerned with my axolotl because I do not know what exactly she has. Is this fungus, bacteria, or something else?
If anyone has any informatin that may help me in trying to cure her, please let me know.
Thank you,
Alfonso
