Hello, I picked up an axolotl (already quite old) a few days ago. She was living in conditions that were not at the top. And she already had spots on her head and a few on her body. Plus, she has a bump on her head. I don’t know if they’re diseases. If someone can give me some answers, I’m interested. Thank you.

the white spots/patches seem to be areas where she has lost pigmentation, the lump might be a blister and may need a vet if you decide to lance it (there is also the possibility that is may go on it's own), if it bursts then antibiotic may be required, if you are concerned about it being anything other than a blister ie.. cancerous, then a vet visit might be worthwhile.

Thank you very much, that reassures me. I have planned to make an appointment with a veterinarian to be safe and check that roof is OK. Thank you☺️, have a nice day.

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu

    I believe my axolotl is constipated. I got him 8 days ago and have not seen any poop in his tank. I have a 20 gallon tank. No other tank mates. 2 hides and a bare bottom. I didn't feed him the last two days. His belly looks swollen and dark in color. I believe it is the food you can see. I fed him blood worms and soft quick sinking axoloty pellets. I tested his water today. Ph was 7.6. The nitrite and nitrate were both zero. The ammonia was 0.25 ppm. I was advised to cycle my tank due to the lack of nitrate. I added Seachem stability 10 ml to my tank yesterday and 5 ml today. I have a tank chiller. The water temp is set at 64. He is still active, but his tail floats up when he is moving about the tank. I am on the fence about fridging him. I also don't know how long to go without feeding him. I don't want to harm him. Please help asap. Thank you.
