Frequently Asked Questions:

What size tank does the Kohaku Guppy need?

Kohaku Guppies are small fish, and they do well in tanks that are at least 10 gallons. A larger tank provides more space for swimming and can help maintain stable water conditions. If you have a group of guppies, a larger tank will also prevent overcrowding.

Can Kohaku Guppies live with other fish?

Yes, Kohaku Guppies are peaceful and get along well with most community tank fish, such as tetras, mollies, and platies. However, avoid keeping them with very large or aggressive fish that might stress them out. They are best kept with other calm fish that are similar in size.

How do I care for Kohaku Guppies?

Kohaku Guppies are relatively easy to care for. They need a well-maintained tank with stable water conditions, regular feeding (such as high-quality flake or pellet food), and occasional water changes. They also benefit from some plant cover in the tank, as it provides hiding places and helps reduce stress.

How do I breed Kohaku Guppies?

Kohaku Guppies are livebearers, meaning they give birth to live young instead of laying eggs. To breed them, you'll need both a male and a female guppy. Female guppies can give birth to several batches of fry from a single mating. If you're not ready for baby guppies, it's important to separate the males and females to avoid overpopulation.

How can I tell the difference between male and female Kohaku Guppies?

Male Kohaku Guppies are typically smaller and more colorful, with the striking red and white pattern that makes them stand out. They also have a small, modified fin called a gonopodium used for mating. Female Kohaku Guppies are larger, less colorful, and have a rounder body shape due to carrying eggs.

What do Kohaku Guppies eat?

Kohaku Guppies are omnivores and will eat a variety of foods, including high-quality flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods like brine shrimp and daphnia. It's important to provide a balanced diet to keep them healthy and vibrant. Feed them small amounts a few times a day, ensuring they don't overeat.
