Moscow Tiger Guppy

The Moscow Tiger Guppy is a popular freshwater fish that has a slender body and is mostly transparent. Its body is marked with black and orange stripes, giving it a tiger-like appearance. The males have longer and more colorful fins than the females. They can grow up to 2 inches in length and are peaceful in nature. They are easy to care for and are great for beginner aquarium owners. They prefer a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding places.

The Moscow Tiger Guppy is an omnivore and can eat both plant-based and meat-based foods. In the wild, they feed on algae, small invertebrates, and zooplankton. In captivity, they can be fed a diet of high-quality flakes or pellets, supplemented with frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms. It's recommended to feed them small amounts of food multiple times a day.

It's easy to tell the difference between male and female Moscow Tiger Guppies. Males have longer, more colorful fins than females, and their bodies are more slender. Females have a more rounded body shape and shorter, less colorful fins.

The Moscow Tiger Guppy is live-bearing, meaning they give birth to live fry rather than laying eggs. Breeding them is relatively easy, and they can produce multiple batches of fry in a single pregnancy. It's recommended to keep one male with two or three females in a breeding tank. After mating, the female can produce up to 50 fry at a time. The fry are fully formed at birth and can eat commercially available fry food.

The Moscow Tiger Guppy is generally a hardy fish and not prone to many diseases. However, they can be affected by common aquarium diseases such as ich, fin rot, and velvet. It's important to maintain good water quality and avoid overcrowding to prevent disease outbreaks.

The Moscow Tiger Guppy is a selectively bred aquarium strain and not found in the wild. It was first developed in Russia by cross-breeding different strains of guppies.

The Moscow Tiger Guppy is generally a peaceful fish and can be kept with other peaceful community fish. However, males can be aggressive towards each other, especially if they are kept in small groups or in overcrowded tanks.

When introducing the Moscow Tiger Guppy to a new aquarium, it's important to acclimate them slowly to avoid shock. Float the bag containing the fish in the aquarium for about 15 minutes to equalize the temperature. Then, gradually add small amounts of aquarium water to the bag over the course of 30 minutes to acclimate the fish to the new water conditions.
