Our Tank Parameters
Red Swamp Guppy | Micropoecilia Picta
Ordered 3 pair. 1 male was DOA. Flip aquatics quickly replaced. Then lost another male, unsure why. So now 2 males and 3 females. Have in a planted tank (val and java fern) and with a sponge on power head. Added 1 tbs salt per 5 gallons as I read they like a little salt. Found 2 fry yesterday that I promptly put in a breeder net as they will eat fry from my research. So happy with these little fish. They are so energetic.
I bought 2, 1 male and 1 female, the female is fine but the male didn't make it sadly, It had good quality shipping though.
Red Swamp Guppy | Micropoecilia Picta
Beautiful and mostly healthy fish. Two came with bacterial or fungal infections which I am treating. One male is very sucked in and more than likely won't make it. Overall a pretty common experience with livebearers. I would order again. Flip has done better in comparison to my last experience!
Update*
Turns out callamanus red worms have run rampant through my tank. Flip should take more caution when importing livebearers. I am now over $1k down in breeding stock at the time of this review. The last fish in 6 months I've added to my breeding set up are the "picta" red swamp guppies and the smoky endlers. And within 2 weeks have seen a massive explosion in illness and death.
