With its robust-shaped body and sporadic flashes of orange, this tiny gem of a guppy would sure catch anyone’s eye if looked into an aquarium that it is in – best kept in school and thrives when socializes and active. While not a picky eater, it will thrive and remain very colourful on a varied diet of meaty food that is supplemented with spirulina or other nutritious vegetable matter. High-quality and flake food, pellets and frozen or freeze-dried tubifex and bloodworms will all be readily accepted.
A hard water fish in nature and while it may manage in soft and/or acidic conditions, long-term maintenance should be provided for guppies in moderately hard or harder water. Unfussy, though a planted tank with floating vegetation is appreciated. Strong currents should be avoided.
