Poecilia Reticulata 'Black Red'
Description
Poecilia Reticulata ‘Black Red’ adds vivid red coloration and lively livebearer behavior to the freshwater aquarium. Its pale body creates a striking contrast with brilliant red fins, helping this guppy stand out among gentle plants, open layouts, and low-to-moderate lighting.
This peaceful community fish suits aquarists seeking colorful freshwater fish or an approachable introduction to livebearer care. It can be kept with other small, non-aggressive species, and a group of 4–6 supports natural activity while helping the fish feel secure. Males typically show more intense red coloring and longer fins, while females contribute graceful movement and resilience to the group.
Care Requirements
- Tank size: A 10-gallon aquarium is suitable for a small group; provide more space if the population grows.
- Temperature: 72–82°F (22–28°C).
- pH: 6.8–7.8.
- Water hardness: Moderate hardness of 5–15 dGH.
- Maintenance: Regular 20–25% weekly water changes help support healthy fins and strong coloration.
Feed high-quality flakes or micro-pellets, with live or frozen brine shrimp and daphnia added a few times each week. Gentle plants and aquarium décor provide shelter and breeding areas without hiding the guppy’s red tones.
As a livebearer, Poecilia Reticulata ‘Black Red’ can reproduce reliably in a home aquarium. Plant-rich refuges or a separate fry-safe area can help protect young, while free-swimming fry benefit from tiny foods such as infusoria or finely crushed baby brine shrimp.
