Red Dragon Guppies are colorful freshwater guppies that are known for their bright orange-red shades and detailed patterns on their bodies and fins. Males stand out with longer tails and bold colors, while females are larger but have a softer, simpler look.
Guppies are peaceful and do well in community tanks with other small, gentle fish. They’re hardy, easy to care for, and a great choice for both beginners and experienced fish keepers. Red Dragon Guppies stay small at about 1.5 to 2 inches, and thrive in clean, well-kept aquariums. A mix of flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods helps keep them healthy and bright.
A 10-gallon tank is the minimum recommended size for a small group, but larger tanks are better for stable water conditions and breeding setups.
Provide a varied diet including high-quality flake food, micro pellets, and live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, or bloodworms to enhance their health and coloration.
