Luminous Cobra Guppies are colorful, active fish that do great in community tanks. They have a cool, bold, cobra like pattern that makes them stand out amongst other fish. Like most guppies, they're easy to care for, making them a good choice for both new and experienced fish keepers. These guppies are peaceful and get along well with other small, gentle fish.
They enjoy tanks with both plants and open swimming space, so they fit into many different setups. Keep the water clean and change it regularly to keep your guppies healthy and showing their best colors.

Yes, Luminous Cobra Guppies are peaceful and social fish. They do well in community tanks with other non-aggressive species, such as tetras, mollies, and other livebearers. However, avoid keeping them with larger, aggressive fish that might harm them.
Feed your guppies small amounts of food 2-3 times a day. It's important to avoid overfeeding, as uneaten food can pollute the water. Only offer enough food that they can consume in 2-3 minutes.

No, Luminous Cobra Guppies do not require special lighting. However, a gentle lighting setup that mimics their natural environment can help bring out their colors. It's best to avoid overly bright lights, as this can cause stress.
Yes, Luminous Cobra Guppies do well in planted tanks. Live plants provide hiding spaces for fry and help maintain water quality by absorbing excess nutrients. Ensure that the plants don't overcrowd the tank, leaving enough swimming space for the fish.
If your guppy appears sick, it's important to isolate it in a quarantine tank to prevent the spread of any potential disease. Monitor water parameters carefully, check for signs of illness like lethargy, discoloration, or bloating, and seek advice from an experienced aquarist or a veterinarian specializing in fish care.
