Scientific and Common Names:
The scientific name of this fish is Poecilia Reticulata X Wingei, commonly known as the Gold Dwarf Guppy.
Habitat:
Gold Dwarf Guppies are native to freshwater habitats in South America, particularly in Venezuela and Trinidad. They are found in slow-moving rivers, streams, and ponds.
Tank Setup:
To provide a suitable environment for your Gold Dwarf Guppies, a tank with a minimum capacity of 10 gallons is recommended. The tank should be well-filtered and have a heater to maintain a temperature between 72°F and 82°F (22°C – 28°C). Adding live plants and hiding spots, such as rocks or driftwood, will create a more natural and comfortable habitat for the fish.
Diet and Nutrition:
Gold Dwarf Guppies are omnivorous and have a varied diet. They can be fed high-quality flake or pellet food designed for tropical fish. Additionally, supplementing their diet with live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, or bloodworms will provide essential nutrients and enhance their coloration.

Maintaining good water quality and providing a balanced diet are crucial for the overall health of Gold Dwarf Guppies. Regular observation and monitoring for signs of disease, such as changes in behavior, appetite, or appearance, can help prevent and address potential health issues.
