Red Guppy

The Red Guppy, also referred to as the full red guppy, is a striking freshwater fish known for its uniform red coloring across its body and fins. Its albino trait, identifiable by its pale body and red eyes, makes this guppy unique. The red guppy is small, with males typically showing more intense colors and larger, flowing fins compared to females.

Red guppies are hardy and easy to care for, making them a good choice for beginners and seasoned aquarists. They do well in peaceful community tanks with stable water conditions. A varied diet of flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods helps maintain their health and color. These guppies are active swimmers and breed readily, making them a lively addition to aquariums.
