Description

The Neon Blue Metallic Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is a stunning freshwater aquarium fish prized for its brilliant and iridescent blue coloration, which gives it a striking metallic sheen. Native to South America, particularly in regions of the Amazon Basin, this guppy has been selectively bred to enhance its vibrant colors, making it a favorite among aquarium enthusiasts. The males are especially notable for their intense neon blue tones that cover their body and fins, while the females tend to be larger and more subdued in coloration.

These guppies are small, typically growing up to 1.5-2 inches in length. Their peaceful temperament makes them ideal for community tanks, where they can coexist with other non-aggressive species. The Neon Blue Metallic Guppy is also livebearing, meaning they give birth to live fry rather than laying eggs, which can quickly populate an aquarium if males and females are kept together. Because of this, many aquarists choose to separate the sexes to manage breeding.

In terms of care, the Neon Blue Metallic Guppy is hardy and well-suited for both novice and experienced aquarists. They thrive in a well-maintained tank with a temperature range of 72-82°F and a pH of 6.8-7.8. They enjoy planted tanks with plenty of swimming space and do best in groups, as they are social fish. A diet consisting of high-quality flakes, as well as live or frozen foods like brine shrimp or bloodworms, helps to maintain their vibrant colors and health.

The Neon Blue Metallic Guppy is known not only for its beauty but also for its energetic and active nature, adding lively movement and vivid color to any aquarium. Its ease of care and eye-catching appearance make it a great addition to a wide variety of setups, from beginner to advanced aquariums.
