The Pink Metallic Guppy adds a splash of color to your aquarium with its metallic pink scales. This small, active fish is easy to care for and adaptable to a range of water conditions, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced hobbyists. The Pink Metallic Guppy thrives in schools, creating a lively and attractive display in your tank.

1. How many Pink Metallic Guppies should I keep together?
Pink Metallic Guppies are social fish and do best in groups. It's recommended to keep at least 3-5 guppies together, as they feel more secure and display more natural behavior in schools. A larger group can also help reduce any potential stress or aggression.
2. Can Pink Metallic Guppies live with other fish?
Yes, Pink Metallic Guppies are peaceful and do well in community tanks with other small, non-aggressive fish. They can live with species like tetras, small rasboras, and other peaceful livebearers. Avoid keeping them with larger, more aggressive fish that might harass them.
3. How do I breed Pink Metallic Guppies?
Pink Metallic Guppies are livebearers, meaning they give birth to live young rather than laying eggs. To breed them, keep a ratio of 1 male to 2-3 females to avoid stressing the females. Provide plenty of plants and hiding spots for the fry, as adult guppies may eat them if they are not protected.
4. What should I feed Pink Metallic Guppies?
Pink Metallic Guppies are omnivores and will thrive on a varied diet. Offer them high-quality flake food, supplemented with frozen or live foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms. Occasional vegetable matter like blanched spinach can also be included in their diet.
5. Are Pink Metallic Guppies hardy?
Yes, Pink Metallic Guppies are relatively hardy, making them an excellent choice for beginner hobbyists. However, they are sensitive to poor water quality and drastic changes in water conditions, so regular tank maintenance is essential to their well-being.
6. How do I prevent disease in my Pink Metallic Guppies?
To prevent disease, maintain good water quality, avoid overcrowding, and feed a balanced diet. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to your tank can help reduce the risk of introducing diseases. Regularly check for signs of illness, such as unusual behavior or changes in appearance, and treat promptly if needed.
They are alive and happy in their new environment. Thank you for you accommodations as well
