The Guppy Red Mozaik (Poecilia reticulata) is one of the most stunning varieties of guppies, admired for its intricate red mosaic tail patterns and graceful swimming behavior. This variety has been selectively bred for its bright coloration, making it a standout addition to any freshwater aquarium.

💧 Ideal for Beginners

Guppies are among the most beginner-friendly fish species in the hobby. The Red Mozaik Guppy is hardy, adaptable, and thrives in a wide range of water conditions. It’s perfect for anyone setting up their first community aquarium.

🌿 Tank Requirements

Provide a tank of at least 40 litres (10 gallons) with gentle filtration and stable water conditions. Adding live plants such as Java Moss, Anubias, or Hornwort enhances their natural habitat and provides hiding spaces, especially for fry (baby guppies).

🍽️ Diet and Feeding

The Guppy Red Mozaik is omnivorous and enjoys a balanced diet of:

• High-quality guppy flakes or pellets

• Frozen or live foods like daphnia, brine shrimp, or bloodworms

• Occasional vegetable supplements (like blanched spinach or zucchini)

Feed small amounts twice daily and avoid overfeeding to maintain water quality.

👪 Behavior and Compatibility

Peaceful by nature, guppies make excellent community fish. They coexist well with tetras, mollies, platies, and corydoras catfish.
⚠️ Avoid keeping them with aggressive or fin-nipping species such as tiger barbs or large cichlids.

🌱 Breeding

Guppies are livebearers, meaning they give birth to free-swimming fry instead of laying eggs. Breeding is straightforward — simply keep males and females together in a stable, clean tank. If you wish to raise the fry, provide fine-leaved plants or a breeding box for protection.

🧼 Maintenance Tips

• Perform 25–30% water changes weekly.

• Keep temperature consistent between 22°C and 28°C.

• Use a reliable aquarium heater and water conditioner for best results.
