Any idea what these could be? My axolotl seems happy, healthy and fine, but I noticed these came up a few weeks ago. He is almost 2 years old. He is in a tank alone and all tank perimeters are checking out fine. Is it something to worry about? I’ve seen this on pics of other axolotls.

Hi! They are actually really cool looking!! Your axoltol now has a face right side up and upside down :p. Anyways, axolotls, especially lighter axolotls, tend to develop brown spots as they age, and most tend to be around the mouth. As long as the bumps don’t seem textured (poking out, like a mole) and your axoltol seems to be doing fine, I wouldn’t be worried. If they are poking out, it’s possible that it’s fungus. But it is very uncommon for fungus to grow around the mouth of the axolotl. He looks wonderful to me :).

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
