Description:
The Yellow Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is a vibrant, small freshwater fish known for its bright yellow coloration and lively behaviour. This species is a popular choice among aquarium enthusiasts due to its striking appearance and ease of care. The males typically display vivid yellow hues with patterned tails, while females are usually larger and less colorful.
Maximum Size:
Yellow Guppies reach up to 2 inches (5 cm) in length when fully grown.
Temperature:
Ideal water temperature ranges from 72°F to 82°F (22°C to 28°C), making them suitable for most tropical aquarium setups.
Water Parameters:
pH: 6.8 to 7.8
Hardness: 8 to 12 dGH (degrees of general hardness)
Ammonia and nitrite levels should be kept at 0 ppm for optimal health.
Compatibility:
Yellow Guppies are peaceful and community-friendly fish. They coexist well with other small, non-aggressive species such as tetras, mollies, and platies. Avoid housing them with larger, predatory fish that may view guppies as food.
Diet:
Yellow Guppies are omnivores. Their diet should include high-quality flake food, micro pellets, frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms. Including a variety of foods ensures balanced nutrition and vibrant coloration.
