I have two axolotls that are both two years old. They are in a 20 gallon tank currently (hoping to move them to a larger tank soon they use to be in a 30 gallon) separated by a divider. The wild colored axolotl is female (Delta) and the gold albino is male (Echo). They have seemed to be in perfect health since I've had them and have even managed to give birth to 400 offspring (They have bred twice). But recently I've noticed it seems that they are starting to grow gill filaments on the opposite side they should be. I'm not sure if this is normal or some kind of mutation or if I should even be worried about it, but I thought I should ask.
Both axolotls have a diet of axolotl pellets and ghost shrimp or worms on occasion. Water parameters include: pH - 7.4, ammonia - 0, nitrates - 0, and nitrites - 0. I do water changes every 2-3 weeks and constantly top off the aquarium. Water temperature stays around 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you know what could be causing this or if it is even a concern please let me know. Thank you!
