Full Care Guide

Guppy Care Guide: Poecilia reticulata

Guppies are social livebearers suited to a prepared beginner, not a fish-per-litre formula. Use a mature filtered aquarium, tested neutral-to-alkaline mineral-bearing water, deliberate sex and population planning, open swimming room, cover and a separation option.

Aquarium setup

Plan the aquarium around stable water and a mature aquarium: start with at least 40 litres; keep temperature around 22–28°C; aim for pH 6.8-8.5. Add cover, open swimming space and a steady routine before introducing new livestock.

Behaviour and tank mates

This male guppy is generally peaceful and uses all levels of the aquarium. Choose stocking that allows enough swimming space and limits competition.

Match tank mates using the adult size, temperament, water parameters and feeding behaviour on this page. Introduce carefully and watch the first week after delivery.

Feeding and routine care

Offer an omnivorous diet of flakes, micro pellets, frozen foods and algae-based foods. Offer small portions, vary the diet where appropriate, and remove uneaten food so water quality remains stable.

Health, delivery and acclimation

Only add new fish to a mature aquarium with stable water. When your order arrives, float and acclimate slowly, keep the lights low, and avoid feeding heavily on the first day. Watch breathing, posture, colour and appetite during the first week.

Why buy from Tropical Fish Co?

This listing is for the Supercolour Mix male form. Individual colours and markings vary, so choose it for a varied display rather than an exact pictured pattern. For a named colour line, compare the Blue Moscow Male Guppy.

Before you order

Use these facts as a final check before ordering. Confirm the adult size, water conditions, feeding style and behaviour suit the aquarium you already have, then choose tank mates that will not outcompete, bully or stress it after delivery.

If you are building a new setup, let the aquarium mature first and avoid mixing livestock with very different temperature, pH or temperament needs. A careful match at the start is usually the difference between a calm community tank and avoidable losses later.
