To provide a suitable environment for these guppies, a well-maintained aquarium with a minimum capacity of 10 gallons is recommended. The tank should be equipped with a heater to maintain a temperature between 72°F and 82°F (22°C – 28°C). A filtration system and regular water changes are essential to maintain water quality.

These guppies are omnivorous and have a varied diet. They can be fed high-quality flake or pellet food as their primary diet. Additionally, supplementing their diet with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms will provide them with essential nutrients.

Health and Disease Prevention:
Maintaining good water quality, providing a balanced diet, and avoiding overcrowding are crucial for preventing diseases. Regular observation of the fish for any signs of illness, such as loss of appetite or abnormal behavior, is recommended. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to the main tank can help prevent the spread of diseases.
