Common Name: Blue Cobra Guppy (Male)
Scientific Name: Poecilia reticulata
Genus: Poecilia
Wild Origin: Selectively bred; wild ancestors originate from freshwater rivers and streams in South America, especially in Venezuela, Guyana, and Trinidad
The Blue Cobra Guppy is a selectively bred variety of guppy known for its vibrant blue coloration and intricate “cobra” patterning. This pattern features dark, snake-like markings along the body and tail, creating a striking visual effect. Male Blue Cobra Guppies are particularly eye-catching, with flowing fins and deep blue to teal hues that shimmer under aquarium lighting. These guppies are peaceful, hardy, and adaptable, making them ideal for community tanks. Blue Cobra Guppies typically grow to about 1.5-2 inches (4-5 cm) and can live 2-3 years in captivity with proper care.
Habitat and Tank Requirements:
Blue Cobra Guppies thrive in warm, clean, and moderately planted aquariums. They’re well-suited for a range of tank setups and can adapt to different water parameters.
Tank Size and Water Parameters:
| PARAMETER | RECOMMENDED |
|---|---|
| Tank Size | Minimum 40 litres |
| Temperature | 72-82°F (22-28°C) |
| pH | 6.8-7.8 |
| Hardness | Moderately hard water, 8-12 dGH |
For the best display of their colors, Blue Cobra Guppies prefer tanks with a substrate of sand or fine gravel, combined with live plants like Java moss, Anubias, and floating plants that provide cover and enhance the tank’s aesthetics. These guppies enjoy moderate water flow, so a gentle filter and regular water changes are recommended to keep water quality high.
We Recommend:
These carefully selected options provide a well-balanced nutritional profile, ensuring that your fish receive the essential nutrients they need for optimal growth, vibrant colors, and overall health. By offering a variety of these high-quality foods, you can help maintain the vitality and well-being of your fish, promoting a healthy and thriving aquarium environment.
Behavior and Compatibility:
Blue Cobra Guppies are peaceful, social fish that enjoy being in groups. If kept with females, a ratio of 2-3 females per male is recommended to minimize stress on the females from mating behavior.
These guppies are compatible with other small, peaceful fish such as tetras, rasboras, Corydoras catfish, and shrimp. Avoid housing them with fin-nipping species like tiger barbs, as their flowing fins can become a target. Their calm temperament makes them ideal for community aquariums, where they coexist well with various other species.
