The guppy blond red tux fish is a selectively bred ornamental freshwater fish known for its vibrant, tuxedo-like coloring. Males have a blonde or orange-blonde upper body, a black "jacket" band around the midsection, and a bright red tail. Females are larger and less vibrantly colored. These peaceful, hardy fish are good for beginners, can grow up to 2.5 inches, and need a minimum 10-gallon aquarium with stable water conditions.
Physical characteristics
Males: Light-colored upper body (blonde or orange-blonde), a distinct black band around the midsection, and a bright red tail. Some may also have a white chin, resembling a formal shirt.
Females: Larger and more dull in color than males.
Size: Males reach about 1.5 to 2.5 inches, while females are generally larger.
Temperament and care
Temperament: Peaceful and active, making them good tankmates for other peaceful fish.
Hardiness: Hardy and resilient, which makes them suitable for beginners, as long as water conditions are kept stable.
Tank size: A minimum of 10 gallons is recommended for a group.
Water conditions: They thrive in tropical freshwater with a temperature range of 72−82∘F (22−28∘C) and a slightly alkaline Ph between 7.0−7.8.
Diet: Omnivorous; they can be fed a staple diet of high-quality flake or granular food, supplemented with treats like brine shrimp or bloodworms.
Breeding
Livebearers: Guppies are live-bearing fish and are relatively easy to breed.
Breeding tips: To protect the fry, it is recommended to have floating plants for cover and a separate breeding box to keep them safe from adult fish.
