Its unique patterning is a result of years of selective breeding, making it a unique and prized species. Not only does the Sunset Guppy add plenty of color, but it is also a highly active fish and makes an excellent addition to any freshwater community aquarium. Additionally, its bold orange tailfin adds an exciting burst of color and is sure to be the highlight of your aquarium.
The Sunset Guppy is an ideal fish for any beginner looking to get into the hobby. It is well-known for its hardiness and peaceful temperament, making it an excellent choice for a community tank. In addition, its ability to tolerate small changes in water parameters makes it a very low maintenance fish. Moreover, a 10 gallon tank is all that is needed to house the Sunset Guppy, making it an ideal fish for small tanks. Furthermore, it is an energetic fish that will bring lots of life and vibrancy to any aquarium.
If you are interested in breeding guppies, the ideal aquarium should have a covering of floating plants and a breeding box to protect the fry. Adults may eat the fry if left to fend for themselves without the breeding box. The fry should be fed brine shrimp, micro food and pulverized flakes.
