The Purple Mosaic Guppy is a small, active fish with a pattern of purple and metallic colors. This species is popular in freshwater tanks due to its hardiness and peaceful nature. Males are generally smaller and more colorful than females.
These guppies are easy to care for and can thrive in a range of water conditions. As livebearers, they can reproduce easily in your tank. They are social and do well in groups with other small, non-aggressive species.
For feeding, Purple Mosaic Guppies will eat high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen food like brine shrimp or daphnia. Their small size and calm demeanor make them a good fit for community tanks.
Purple Mosaic Guppies are small fish, so a tank of at least 10 gallons is suitable for a small group. They are social creatures and thrive in groups of at least five or six. Larger tanks provide more space for them to swim and help maintain stable water conditions.
Purple Mosaic Guppies are omnivores. They can be fed high-quality fish flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods like brine shrimp or daphnia. A varied diet helps them stay healthy and colorful.
Yes, they are peaceful and do well in community tanks with other small, non-aggressive species like tetras, Corydoras, and other livebearers. Avoid keeping them with larger or more aggressive fish that might bully them.
Purple Mosaic Guppies are livebearers, meaning they give birth to free-swimming young rather than laying eggs. They breed easily in community tanks, and once the water conditions are right, they will reproduce without much intervention. However, it's a good idea to separate pregnant females into a breeding box or a separate tank to protect the fry from being eaten by other fish.
I love these little guys. They arrived safe and sound in separate bags and have been exploring the tank together with their new guppy friends since I acclimated them 7 days ago. Nothing but praise for the FA team!
Just got these along with some long fin Cory’s. All 10 fish alive and adjusting well. Great color on the male guppies and surprisingly great color on the females as well.
First time using FlipAquatics and unfortunately one of the three females I purchased was DOA. The other two are doing fine so far. Maybe the travel stressed out the one fish that died not sure.When I received the fish they all looked alive and well and after acclimating them I went to put them in the tank and noticed that the one was dead.Hopefully the other two survive and do well in there new home.
First, I'd like to say I'm very pleased with Flip Aquatics. I've placed multiple orders with them over the past year and all orders have arrived on time in great shape with no DOA fish. The two guppies I recently ordered looked very nice and appeared to be healthy upon arrival. I unboxed immediately upon arrival, drip acclimated, and added them to my cycled quarantine tank. Unfortunately after about a week one of the guppies died. I couldn't see any physical issues with the fish and my tank water parameters are all good so am unsure what caused the death. The other guppy still appears to be in good condition after 2 weeks.
I resorted to ordering from flipaquatics because of their big name in the shrimp world and being featured on Twincitiesguppies and Aquarium Co-op. TCG was out of this guppy strain, so these guys were my last resort. I ordered 2 pairs of Dumbo Purple Mosaic guppies despite the only other lackluster review. Everything was packaged with expertise. These guys are veterans in this business. Both males I received were juveniles which allows me to enjoy them longer. One of them had an orange and red tail. This made me worried right off the bat, so I put him in my cull tank. The other male and two females didn't have any trace of red or orange, so my experience wasn't completely negative. Time will tell. To think flip sent me a fish looking like a dumbo red mosaic which I had to put aside immediately makes me not trust the quality of their guppy strains.
