Platinum Dumbo Ear Red Tail Guppy
Platinum Dumbo Ear Red Tail Guppy
Overview:
Platinum Dumbo Ear Red Tail Guppies are a popular and beautiful strain of guppy known for their striking dumbo blue and red combination. They are native to South America but have been selectively bred in captivity for aquariums worldwide. Guppies are peaceful fish that thrive in community tanks, where they generally dwell in the top or middle sections of the water column.
Due to their hardy nature and ability to adapt to a wide range of water conditions, these guppies are ideal for beginners. Guppies are live-bearers, meaning they give birth to free-swimming young, making them a favorite for those interested in breeding fish.
These guppies require minimal care as long as they are kept in a well-filtered tank with stable water parameters. They are social, active fish and should be kept in small groups for best results.
