General Information

Scientific Name:   Lebistes reticulatus also Poecilia reticulatus

Native Region:    Central America, Mexico, Venezuela, Caribbean area.

Temperament:    Community. Peaceful. Excellent for community tanks, for children or others who are starting their first aquarium. Great way to explain the "birds & the bees".

Feeding:    Will do well with standard flake food, but some live foods, live & adult brine shrimp and bloodworms will enhance color, size and reproduction.

Temperature Range: 68-80°F.

pH: 7.1-8.5

dH: 5.0 - 19.0

Adult Size: 2.5" - 3" (females larger than males)

Sexing: Males are far more colorful and have longer fins. They also have the modified anal fin typical of livebearers. Females are usually much larger and are a drab olive/silver.

Breeding Guppies and Raising Fry

General Comment: All around a great starter fish and their are those who continue their interest into the genetics and breeding of exotic strains as a specialty in their hobby. 1 tbs. of aquarium salt per 5 gallons of water is highly recommended for guppies, as with all tropical freshwater fish.
