Red Dragon Guppy

The Red Dragon Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is a striking freshwater fish with a unique blend of red and intricate patterns across its body and fins. The males are especially noted for their extended tails and vibrant coloration, while females display a simpler, more subdued appearance.

Red Dragon Guppies thrive in clean, well-maintained aquariums with a varied diet including flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods.

Cool Flashy Male

The male I received is actually cooler than I had originally expected. Very active and flashy. The female is also very active and healthy, just not as flashy, but that’s ok with me!
