Dragon Guppy (Pair)

Thai breeders name the fish and aquariumfish.com just passes it along. In this case, we suppose the jade head and multicolored tail resemble the colors of a faraway Asian dragon. In the fish tank, these colors are bright and cherry, and there is little chance that any fire will be breathed. This order comes with one male and one female.

Quick Facts

Care Guide

Tank setup: Give them a heater, a gentle filter and plenty of plants, including some floating plants where babies can hide. Guppies like slightly hard water.

Feeding: Feed a quality flake or small pellet once or twice a day, only as much as they eat in a couple of minutes. They also enjoy frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp.

Tankmates: Guppies get along with other small, peaceful fish such as platies, mollies, corydoras, small tetras and rasboras. Avoid fin-nippers like tiger barbs and larger fish that could eat them.

Breeding: Guppies are livebearers and breed easily. Females give birth to live babies about once a month, and adults will eat the babies, so thick plants give them a place to hide.

Good to know: Males carry the bright colors and long tails; females are plainer but needed for breeding.
