Flamingo Red Guppy

The Flamingo Red Guppy is a popular freshwater aquarium fish known for its striking red and pink coloration. These fish are small and typically grow to an average size of 1.5-2.5 inches (3.8-6.4 cm). They are a peaceful species that are best kept in groups with other peaceful fish of similar size. Flamingo Red Guppies are active swimmers and prefer a well-planted tank with plenty of hiding places.

Flamingo Red Guppies are omnivores and will eat a variety of foods including flake food, frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp or bloodworms, and vegetable matter. A varied diet is important for their health and well-being.

Male Flamingo Red Guppies are generally smaller in size and have more colorful and intricate patterns than females. Females are typically larger and have a rounder belly.

Flamingo Red Guppies are livebearers, which means that the females give birth to live young. Breeding is relatively easy and can be done by keeping a ratio of 2-3 females to every male in a well-planted aquarium. The female will give birth to up to 30 fry every 4-6 weeks. It is recommended to remove the adult fish from the breeding tank to prevent them from eating the fry.

Flamingo Red Guppies are susceptible to common freshwater fish diseases such as ich and fin rot. Proper tank maintenance and a healthy diet can help prevent these diseases.

Flamingo Red Guppies are a selectively bred color variation of the common guppy (Poecilia reticulata), which is native to South America.

Flamingo Red Guppies are generally peaceful and do not pose a threat to humans. However, they can nip at the fins of other fish in the aquarium, so it is important to keep them with peaceful tankmates.

When introducing Flamingo Red Guppies to a new tank, it is important to acclimate them slowly to prevent shock. Float the bag containing the fish in the aquarium for 15-20 minutes to allow the temperature to equalize. Then, open the bag and add small amounts of aquarium water to the bag every 5-10 minutes until the water in the bag matches the water in the tank. Finally, use a net to transfer the fish to the tank.
