Do axolotl gills grow back?

[B3llaax3]

Just noticed a few weeks ago that my male axo bit two of my females gills half way down :/
Do the grow back eventually or are hey going to be like that for the rest of its life?

I bought my little guy with shorter gills on one side. That was several months ago, and they haven't grown back at all. Oh well...it gives him personality.

It really does give them personality lol.. I was just curious to see if they did or not, but thanks or your response Sharon

I have a little juvenile who came with a nibbled gill in under 6 weeks it's almost completely regrown


I think potentially they can grow back depending on their age & how badly damaged the gills have been - I'm guessing bitten off is easier to regrow than shortened gills shrunk back due to ammonia burn etc. I also think good water conditions make a huge difference as to how fast they grow back.

my one tony lost his all his on one side and they grew back in time but one forked dont know why but it looks cute. it takes alot of energy for them to regrow i imagine so i gave him lots of food while he regrew his.

I also bought one of my axolotls with really short gills on one side!
It does take quite a while for them to grow back though.

What if its bit all the way down to its actual gill? :/ will it still regrow then or be featherless on one side ?
