Pop Corn’s Personality
Pop Corn is a confident little axolotl with a strong feeding response and plenty of growing still ahead.
Already eating well and developing beautifully, Pop Corn has that curious youngster energy that makes this stage so much fun to watch.
Behaviour may change as Pop Corn settles into a new environment, but our observations help you get to know the individual animal you are choosing.
What Makes Pop Corn Special?
Pop Corn’s standout feature is that lovely Dirty Leucistic appearance.
Dirty Leucistics develop darker speckling and freckling across the head and body, giving each animal its own distinctive look.
Pop Corn already has plenty of 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 Pop Corn’s colouring develop over time.
Colour and markings may continue changing with growth and can appear different depending on aquarium lighting and screen settings.
Pop Corn’s Current Diet
Pop Corn 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 Pop Corn’s excellent early growth.
