Hi guys, I just had to share. For the first year of their life with me (from about 2" juvies to 8-9" adults) , my pair lived in a tank with a HOB filter. They were happy enough, and their gills were always average sized.
When I built their new tank, I decided to switch to a sponge filter. 2 months later (today), I was watching them do axolotl stuff and I could not get over how big and fluffy their gills have gotten! It's a ridiculous amount of growth in only two months.
While both have larger gills now, the difference in my female is the most impressive out of the pair!
The before pictures were taken moments after moving them to their new sponge filtered tank.
The now pictures were taken about an hour ago.
The now pictures are a little lower quality because I took them with my phone, but you can still see a big difference!
