Overview

The Blue Cobra Guppy is one of the more exotically colored of all Fancy Guppies. The male Blue Cobra Guppy has a dark blue body with an orange and black-spotted tail and dorsal fin. The distinct coloration and snakeskin body pattern of the Blue Cobra Guppy makes it a highly sought addition to the community aquarium. The Blue Cobra Guppy is also very hardy and quick to mature, which makes it attractive to both beginning and advanced hobbyists. "Cobra" guppies are distinguished by a rosette pattern with vertical bars on its lower body.

For the best care, house the farm-raised Blue Cobra Guppy in an aquarium of at least 10 gallons. Because of its hardiness, it is tolerant of small changes in water parameters. However, care should be taken to keep temperature, pH, and nutrient levels in check. The Blue Cobra Guppy is a very peaceful fish and should be housed with freshwater tankmates of similar temperament.

Guppies are relatively easy to breed even for the beginning aquarists. If you are interested in breeding guppies, the ideal aquarium should have a covering of floating plants and a breeding box to protect the fry. Adults may eat the fry if left to fend for themselves without the breeding box. The fry should be fed brine shrimp, micro food and pulverized flakes.

The Blue Cobra Guppy is an omnivore and requires both algae-based foods as well as meaty foods. An algae-based flake food, along with freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex, and brine shrimp will provide guppies with the proper nutrition.

This was one of the best purchases for my tank. My Blue Cobra Guppies get along great with my Blue Gourami. They also add color and vibrancy as they swim throughout the tank
