Red Dragon Guppy

Red Dragon Guppy is a popular ornamental strain of guppy (Poecilia reticulata), loved for its fiery red body and dramatic, flowing fins.

What makes it special 🔥

• Color: Intense crimson to deep red, often with a metallic or dragon-scale sheen
• Fins: Large delta or fan tails with bold red patterning
• Sexual dimorphism:
  • Males are smaller, brighter, and flashier
  • Females are larger, paler, and less ornate

Care basics 🐠

• Tank size: 10+ gallons (bigger = happier)
• Temperature: 24–28 °C (75–82 °F)
• pH: 6.8–7.8
• Temperament: Peaceful, great for community tanks
• Diet: High-quality flakes + frozen/live foods (brine shrimp, daphnia) for best color

Breeding notes 💕

• Very easy to breed (like most guppies)
• Livebearers: females give birth every ~4 weeks
• If you want to keep the strain pure, separate fry and avoid mixing with other guppy types
