5 gilled wonder

[Axolotlsmiles]

Hello everyone! I just had a fun question I always wondered why my male axolotl only has 5 gills? He’s had it since he was born and it’s not an injury or anything and all of his many, many offspring had the proper 6 gills so I doubt it’s genetic. Just always wondered.

i once had a clutch of only lucy's. they all had 4 gills. probably just weird genes.
