The Koi Guppy is a beautiful and unique variety of guppy, named for its resemblance to Japanese koi fish. Its distinctive coloration includes a bright white or silver body, a vibrant orange or red head, and bold markings on its fins and tail. This guppy’s graceful swimming style and peaceful temperament make it a standout in community tanks. Male Koi Guppies are more vividly colored, while females have a subtler, elegant appearance. These fish grow to about 1.5-2 inches (4-5 cm) and live for 2-3 years with proper care.

Habitat and Tank Requirements:

Koi Guppies thrive in clean, warm aquariums with live plants and open swimming areas. Their striking colors are best showcased in well-lit tanks.

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

A planted tank with live plants like Java moss, Anubias, or floating plants provides shelter and encourages natural behavior. A soft substrate of sand or fine gravel complements their environment and highlights their vibrant colors. Gentle filtration ensures stable water quality without creating strong currents. Regular water changes are essential for keeping them healthy.

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:

Koi Guppies are peaceful, social fish that enjoy being in groups. In mixed-sex tanks, maintain a ratio of 2-3 females per male to prevent stress on the females from constant courting.

These guppies are excellent companions for other peaceful species such as small tetras, rasboras, Corydoras catfish, and shrimp. Avoid housing them with fin-nipping species like tiger barbs, as their flowing fins may attract unwanted attention.
