The Red Dragon Guppy is one of the most visually captivating and easy-to-keep tropical fish available for home aquariums. With its fiery red fins, iridescent scales, and flowing tail, this guppy adds color and vitality to any freshwater setup.

🐠 Ideal for Beginners

The Red Dragon Guppy is hardy, peaceful, and adaptable, making it an excellent choice for beginners entering the aquarium hobby. They tolerate a wide range of water conditions and are active swimmers that coexist well with other small, non-aggressive fish species such as tetras, mollies, and platies.

🌿 Aquarium Setup

A 10-gallon (38 L) tank is the minimum recommended size for a small group. Provide plants like Java moss or Anubias for shelter and to enhance the aesthetic appeal. Ensure good filtration and regular water changes to maintain clarity and quality. Moderate lighting will bring out the guppy’s deep red coloration.

🍽️ Diet and Feeding

Red Dragon Guppies are omnivores, thriving on a varied diet of high-quality flakes or micro pellets, supplemented with frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp and daphnia. Feed small amounts 1–2 times per day to prevent overfeeding and maintain optimal health.

❤️ Breeding Behavior

Being livebearers, female guppies give birth to free-swimming fry approximately every 30 days. Providing dense plant cover or a breeding box can protect fry from being eaten by adults. Breeding is easy and rewarding, even for new aquarists.

💧 Water Conditions

Maintain a temperature between 24–28°C (75–82°F) and a pH between 6.8–7.8. Guppies prefer stable conditions, so avoid sudden changes in water parameters. Use a water conditioner to neutralize chlorine and other harmful substances before adding new water.
