Emerald Guppy (sold in pairs)

The Emerald Guppy is a variety of guppy known for its beautiful green or iridescent emerald coloration. Like other guppies, they are popular among aquarists due to their vibrant colors, easy care, and active behavior.

A small group of Emerald Guppies can be kept in a 10-gallon tank, but a larger tank (20 gallons or more) is preferable for a more stable environment and more space for them to swim.

Use fine gravel or sand as the substrate. Add plenty of plants (like Java moss, Anubias, or Hornwort), as guppies enjoy swimming around plants and hiding in them. Decorations like rocks and driftwood can also provide hiding spots.

Moderate lighting will help bring out their colors and support plant growth.

Keep the water temperature between 72-82°F (22-28°C).

Guppies prefer a slightly alkaline pH of around 7.0-8.0.

They thrive in moderately hard to hard water.

Emerald Guppies are omnivorous, so feed them a varied diet of high-quality flake or pellet food, supplemented with live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, or bloodworms.

You can also provide vegetable matter, such as blanched spinach or spirulina-based food.

Guppies are peaceful and do well with other small, non-aggressive fish. Good tank mates include tetras, mollies, platies, Corydoras catfish, and other peaceful community fish.

Avoid larger or aggressive fish, as they may nip at the guppies’ fins.

Regular water changes (about 20-30% weekly) are essential to keep the water clean and the fish healthy.

Test the water parameters regularly to ensure they remain within the ideal range.

Guppies are active swimmers and usually very social. Keeping them in groups will allow them to display their natural behavior.

Male guppies, which are more colorful, may display courtship behavior towards females, so having a ratio of two females to every male can help reduce stress on the females.

With the right care, Emerald Guppies can be a stunning and lively addition to your aquarium, offering a splash of color and activity.
