A "guppy peacock blue fish" describes a variety of guppy with a vibrant, often metallic, blue body and tail, sometimes with iridescent or velvety green undertones. Males are smaller but more brightly colored than females, which are larger and less vivid. These are peaceful, livebearing fish that are good for community tanks and suitable for beginners due to their relatively easy care requirements.
Appearance
Color: Striking metallic blue body and tail. Some varieties, like the Blue Peacock Moscow, also have dark green velvety undertones.
Body: Males have a dark body with a brilliant blue tail, and some have elongated dorsal fins.
Tail: Males often develop a large, flowing, "half-moon" or delta-shaped tail.
Females: Larger, less colorful, and with more muted fins compared to the males.
Behavior and temperament
Temperament: Peaceful and social, making them a good choice for community tanks.
Compatibility: Best kept with other peaceful fish species that will not nip at their long fins, such as tetras, rasboras, or shrimp.
Breeding: They are livebearers, meaning they give birth to live fry, which can be a fun and easy process for aquarists.
Care and maintenance
Diet: Omnivores that need a balanced diet including high-quality flakes, micro-pellets, and both meaty and vegetable-based foods like frozen bloodworms or algae-based flakes.
Tank size: A minimum of 10 gallons is recommended.
Water conditions: Thrive in a temperature range of 72–82∘𝐹 (22–28∘𝐶) and prefer medium to hard water with a pH of about 7.0–7.8.
Care level: Easy, making them an ideal choice for beginners.
