Poeciliidae
Selective breeding in Asia; originally derived from wild guppies native to South America.
Very social; best kept in groups or harems (1 male with multiple females).
Provide guppy flakes or micro pellets as a staple. Supplement with brine shrimp, daphnia, mosquito larvae, and occasional blanched vegetables to support color and digestion.
Livebearer – females give birth to fully formed fry every few weeks.
As livebearers, females can produce 20–40 fry every 4–6 weeks. Dense plants like Java Moss or floating plants increase fry survival. Fry grow quickly on baby brine shrimp, microworms, and crushed flakes.
Stable pH between 6.8–7.8 with moderate hardness. Ensure weekly 25–30% water changes for optimal health.
Susceptible to ich, fin rot, fungal infections, and stress caused by poor water quality or strong currents that may strain their large fins.
Peaceful and social
Calm and active swimmers that use their dumbo fins gracefully. Males often display their fins while courting females. They explore all areas of the tank and thrive in groups.
