Guppy "Japan Blue" ♂ (2.5-3.5 cm)

Asian guppy with electric blue coat - hardy and highly decorative.

The Japan Blue Guppy(Poecilia reticulata) is a strain from Asian breeding farms renowned for its metallic blue dorsal line, contrasting with a pale yellow tail, transparent or lightly coloured depending on the strain. Highly appreciated for its brilliance under LED lighting, it is easy to maintain and breeds abundantly.

Behaviour and maintenance

Like all guppies:

Very sociable and peaceful
Continuous reproduction: gestation period of 3-4 weeks with frequent litters
Must be kept with several females (1 male for 2 to 3 females)

Provide a planted tank to offer hiding places for fry.

Feeding

Omnivorous:

High-quality flakes or granules
Artemia, daphnia, worms (live or frozen)
Spirulina and poached vegetables (spinach, courgette)

A varied diet enhances the intensity of the metallic blue.
