Bubble Gum’s Personality
Bubble Gum is a confident little feeder who has been developing beautifully.
With such a good appetite and strong growth already, this is one little axolotl who certainly seems to know where dinner comes from.
Behaviour may change as Bubble Gum settles into a new environment, but our observations help you get to know the individual animal you are choosing.
What Makes Bubble Gum Special?
Bubble Gum’s standout feature is that lovely Dirty Leucistic appearance.
Unlike a cleaner white Leucistic, Dirty Leucistics develop darker freckling and speckling across the head and body, giving each animal a very individual appearance.
Bubble Gum already has plenty of speckling along with some purple-blue flecks through the gills, and may continue developing more distinctive markings as they grow.
Dad has a beautifully freckled face and light purplish gills, so it will be very interesting to see how Bubble Gum’s colouring develops.
Colour and markings may continue changing with growth and can appear different depending on aquarium lighting and screen settings.
Bubble Gum’s Current Diet
Bubble Gum is confidently eating a varied diet including:
Blackworms
Chopped earthworms
Axolotl pellets
Small pieces of raw shrimp occasionally
Bloodworms as an occasional treat
A strong feeding response and varied diet have helped support Bubble Gum’s excellent early growth.
