Half Black Red Rose Guppy (1 m/1 F)

About

Half Black Red Rose Guppy (One Male/One Female) requires at least a 10g tank and is very tolerant of changing tank conditions. Plants should be hardy varieties such as Java Fern and Java Moss that can handle the increased hardness in the tank. Other peaceful fish would make good tank mates. These are the short body version. The Half Black Red Rose guppy is a silver guppy fading to black then a deep red tail. The males are smaller in size, have brighter coloration, along with a bigger tail fin, and pointed anal fin.  The females are larger in size with a duller coloration,  have a rounded anal fin, as well as a pregnancy patch (gravid sport) on the lower portion of the body.

Environment

Ideally, the environment should have a covering of floating plants like have moss, riccia, or guppy grass "Naja grass" or a place to hide protect the fry. The fry should be fed fresh baby brine shrimp, micro food, and pulverized high quaility flakes. Guppies do well with a wide range of PH and temperature. I suggest 7+ PH and maintaining the temperature of at least 74f, but not exceeding 82f. The Half Black Red Rose Guppy is an omnivore and requires both algae-based foods as well as meaty foods. An algae-based flake food, along with freeze-dried blood worms, and brine shrimp will provide guppies with the proper nutrition.
