This listing is for one Sunset Guppy, if you get two feel free to request genders in the note.
The Sunset Guppy is a stunning variety of guppy known for its vibrant orange, red, and yellow hues, resembling the colors of a sunset. These guppies are famous for their bright tails, which often display a gradient of these colors. Males are more colorful and have intricate patterns, while females are larger but less vivid in comparison.
Care:
Sunset Guppies are ideal for beginner aquarists due to their hardy nature. They thrive in well-planted tanks with plenty of swimming space. A mix of live plants and open areas allows them to explore and display their vibrant colors. They do well in peaceful community tanks with other small, non-aggressive fish.
Diet:
Sunset Guppies are omnivorous and will eat a variety of foods. A high-quality flake or pellet food, formulated for guppies, should be their primary diet. You can supplement this with live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms. Occasionally offering vegetable matter like spirulina flakes or blanched vegetables can enhance their colors and overall health.
Breeding:
Like other guppies, Sunset Guppies are livebearers, meaning they give birth to live fry rather than laying eggs. They breed easily in aquariums, often without intervention. Providing hiding spots for the fry, such as dense plants or a separate breeding tank, is essential to protect them from adult guppies.
Sexual Differences:
Males are smaller and more colorful, with larger, fan-shaped tails displaying the vibrant sunset colors. Females are larger, with less coloration, but still retain a subtle beauty.
The Sunset Guppy is an excellent choice for aquarists looking for a hardy, colorful, and easy-to-breed fish that can add a warm burst of color to any freshwater tank!
