They are not the most colourful of the guppy variants but if you are looking for something that resembles Pandas in your tank it is definitely worth a look.
Fancy guppies (Poecilia reticulata) are very hardy and undemanding in aquaria and the usual freshwater tropical set-up & parameters will allow them to do well.
They thrive in planted tanks, as this more closely mimics their natural environment. Poecilia reticulata prefers reasonably hard (10 – 15 dGH, pH 6.8 – 7.8) and warm water at 24°C – 25°C, but this is not a strict requirement.
Keep in mind, the warmer the water, the faster they grow; however, this may also shorten their lifespan.
The fancy guppies make an excellent choice for reasonably small desktop aquariums but do enjoy a roomy environment when available to them.
They get along extremely well with other peaceful fish in a community setup. Males grow up to 30 – 40 mm, and females slightly larger – up to 40 – 50 mm in size.

Origin and Distribution
The guppy has been captive bred for over 100 years, but originally came from South America. They are named for Robert John Lechmere Guppy who collected these fish on the island of Trinidad in 1866. They are native to freshwater streams in the north of South America, including Surinam, Guyana, and Venezuela, and the Caribbean islands, including Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago. Now, they have been introduced to every continent but Antarctica, and can be found in many warm waterways around the world.
Tankmates
Guppies are peaceful, easygoing community fish that play well with a mix of other non-aggressive fish species. You may want to keep them with similar, live-bearing fish, such as platys or mollies. Other good tankmates include small fish, such as neon tetras or zebrafish. Keep in mind that any fry spawned from an active guppy female may be dinner for other fish in the tank, so having smaller tankmates will ensure more fry survive.
Many guppy keepers often opt for a guppy-only aquarium. You are welcome to mix different varieties of guppy in the same tank. The number of guppies you can keep in one tank will depend on the size of the tank—a general guideline is 1 gallon of water for every 1 inch of fish. For example, because guppies average around 2 inches in length, a 10-gallon tank may only hold five guppies comfortably, while a 30-gallon tank may hold 15 guppies. Generally, it’s also best to have two or three females for every one male in the tank.
Guppy Habitat and Care
Guppies are great beginner fish. They are low maintenance and can tolerate some beginner mistakes. A bigger tank size is recommended since guppies are very active fish. They thrive in an aquarium with plants and soft décor items.
In order to keep your population from exploding, it is strongly recommended that you separate males and females in different tanks. Guppy females can store sperm for multiple spawns, even after separation from males, so once a female has been with a male, she may have multiple batches of babies. Tank dividers are okay as a temporary solution, but many of these flimsy, plastic dividers are usually not enough to keep fish separated. Two separate tanks will keep unwanted spawning to zero.
Heater
As a general rule, you need a heater to keep your guppies healthy. They prefer water temperatures in the 70s, and few homes are warm enough to provide that without an immersible heater in the tank. Monitor water temperature daily and adjust the heater as needed to keep your fish comfortable and healthy.
Filtration
Your aquarium definitely needs a filter to remove impurities and harmful chemicals from the tank water. Without a filter, aquarium water tends to quickly become filled with pollutants from uneaten food and fish waste, and your fish can become ill or even die from this harmful water. There are many types of aquarium filters available to suit any budget, so talk to the fish expert at your local aquarium shop or pet store if you are uncertain as to which filter is best for your tank.
Guppy Diet and Feeding
Guppies are omnivores and do well on a variety of commercially available feeds. Even though guppies are small in size, pelleted diets called micro pellets are the best choice since they hold onto their nutrition longer than flakes. You are welcome to add supplements, such as frozen fish foods, but no more than once or twice a week. The complete pelleted diet is best for most pet fish species.
Depending on your aquarium's temperature and the other tank inhabitants, you may feed your fish once or twice a day. Always start with a little bit of food, and when it has all been consumed, add a little more. Repeat for a few minutes and use this time to check all of your fish. Feeding time is a great time to see if any of your fish are acting odd or sick.
Gender Differences
There are a few gender differences you will need to identify to keep your male and female populations separate. Males tend to be smaller and more vibrantly colored. Females tend to have a brown coloration and are larger and rounder. Also, as male guppies grow, their body will develop coloration that does not occur on the female's body.
On the underside of the fish, the anal fin of the male is long and thin and tapers to a point. The anal fin on the female guppy is larger and triangular or fan in shape.
Guppies are sexually mature in about two to three months, and you should be able to identify the differences between genders by 1 month of age, if you wish to separate them. Female guppies first produce offspring at 10–20 weeks of age, and they continue to reproduce until 20–34 months of age.
Breeding the Guppy
Many beginner hobbyists will start with only one female guppy and suddenly have a swarm. Since female guppies can store sperm, it only takes one insemination by a male for a few spawns to be born. In order to prevent your aquarium from maxing out its stocking capacity, it is always best to separate male and female guppies.
Guppies are live-bearers, so the female will give birth to 10–50 wiggling fry per spawning. Many times, the newly born fry will be eaten by other fish in the aquarium, so if you want to save any fish, keep them in a separate tank or breeding box. Heavily planted aquariums will also give the babies places to hide and survive.
After breeding together many generations of the same population, you may notice an increased number of fish with congenital abnormalities, such as crooked spines or shortened lifespans.
Red Tuxedo Koi Guppies are a type of freshwater fish that are known for their striking coloration. Males are typically larger than females and have a deep red body with white stripes and patches. The females are slightly smaller than the males and have a muted red color with white patches. Both sexes have large, colorful tails that can be seen from a distance. Red Tuxedo Koi Guppies are easy to care for and make great additions to aquaria. They are peaceful, hardy fish that can help to keep your tank clean. These guppies are sure to add some vibrant color to your tank!

These fish are small, usually, they are 2.5 inches, and have teeth in their upper and lower jaws. They are extremely colorful and there are many different coloration patterns, actually, there are no two individuals alike, their colors are like their fingerprints. Wild specimens are gray with a few tints of color, however, years of captive breeding and the fact that they reproduce quickly and have many offspring led to strains of intense coloration. There are also 12 tail fin varieties: round tail, pintail, pointed or spear tail, swordtail, lyretail, spade tail, flagtail, veil tail, fantail, and triangle tail. The color of the tail is what defines the fish’s name even if the body is of different coloration, for example, if the body is red and the tail is blue then it is called a blue Guppy. It is very rare to find wild specimens for sale, in most stores, there are only inbred guppies, usually, these have more fragile health. Regarding the Blonde Tux Guppies, these fish’ tail fin is orange and yellow and their upper body is orange.
To keep these fish in captivity, water pH should be between 7.0 and 8.0 and water temperature should range from 68ºF to 82ºF. The tank should have a bit of salt, 1 to 1.25 teaspoons of aquarium salt per gallon is recommended. When performing water changes, which should occur 2 to 3 times per month, saltwater should be replaced with salted water, however, when replacing water that has evaporated there is no need to use salt water since the salt remains in the tank and only the water evaporates. The tank should have a gravel substrate, rooted plants, and floating vegetation. They can be kept in a community tank although fin nipping species, fry, and long-finned species should be avoided as tankmates, good tankmates are Corydoras or Tetras. They can also be kept in groups, for a group of 3 a 5-gallon aquarium is enough.
