What Makes Chuppa Chup Special?
Chuppa Chup’s standout feature is that lovely Dirty Leucistic appearance.
Dirty Leucistics develop darker freckling and speckling across the head and body, giving every individual its own unique look.
Chuppa Chup already has noticeable speckling along with some purple-blue flecks through the gills and may continue developing more markings as they grow.
Dad has a beautifully freckled face and light purplish gills, so it will be interesting to watch Chuppa Chup’s colouring develop over time.
Colour and markings may continue changing with growth and can appear different depending on aquarium lighting and screen settings.
Chuppa Chup’s Current Diet
Chuppa Chup 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 Chuppa Chup’s excellent early growth.
