Presumably damaged slime coat

[schecoluis]

Hi there, I have an axolotl I named Sergio with me for a month now, and today, I was changing Sergio's tank water and clease the tank I noticed these things across his left body, it looks like holes on the slime coat, should I be concerned of it?

Hi,
Are you referring to these yellow spots lined and regularly spaced ?

Yeah! Is it normal? He's doing fine though, no signs of anything concerning

These marks just follow the lateral line (a serie of pressure receptors which helps fishes and larval amphibians to perceive water movements).
So : a bit strange, but normal
