Overview

The Red Coral Guppy is one of many unique variety of Poecilia reticulata guppy developed through years of careful, selective breeding. This vibrantly-colored fish sports a striking palette from nose to tail beginning with shades of peach-orange coloration that culminates to a glowing coral red coloration with shimmering metallic over tones. The Red Coral Guppy is a colorful and active fish sure to make an exciting addition to any freshwater community aquarium.

The Red Coral Guppy requires an aquarium of at least 10 gallons in size. It is a very peaceful fish and should be housed with tankmates of similar temperament. Though the Red Coral Guppy is a hardy fish tolerant of small changes in water parameters, care should be taken to keep water temperature, pH, and nutrient levels in check. This hardy and energetic fish makes an excellent fish for beginning hobbyists.

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 Red Coral 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.
