Hi, Thanks for yor advice. I have no idea whether shes a melanoid or a wildtype - whats the difference? Her skin is not peeling, it looks absolutely normal except for the colour. I haven't checked the water parameters as there has been no change in her environment or conditions. She is perfectly happy and behaving normally. The most obvious answer to me is age spots but I am unsure whether they get them!

I'm not in Canada, I'm in New Plymouth!!

Hi, I am hoping someone can answer my query. I have a 12 year old black axolotl. Recently I have noticed a couple of small patches of yellowy dicolouration on her head and body. The skin in these areas look completely normal except for the colour. I have tried rubbing the areas gently with a skewer but it doesn't come away. She is acting normally and eating well. There have been no changes in her tank environment or in her diet. I took her to the vet and they suggested dunking her in seawater for 30seconds twice a day but there was no improvement. I'm not sure whether she has a fungal infection or whether it could be age spots as she is fairly old. If anyone can shed some light on this for me, that'd be great! Thanks.
