Caring for Luminous Tiger Guppy Male

Provide a tank of at least 40 litres with plants, fine gravel, and a lid to prevent jumping. For instance, maintain water temperatures between 22°C and 28°C, with a pH of 6.5–8.5 and moderate hardness. Moreover, regular 20–30% weekly water changes and gentle filtration like a sponge filter ensure a healthy environment.

Ideal Tank Mates

These fish thrive with peaceful species like neon tetras, corydoras catfish, mollies, or platies. For example, avoid fin-nipping fish like tiger barbs or aggressive species to protect their flowing tails. However, a spacious tank with hiding spots supports a harmonious community.

Feeding and Nutrition

As omnivores, these fish eat high-quality flakes, micro pellets, and live or frozen foods like brine shrimp or bloodworms. For instance, supplement with blanched vegetables like spinach for variety. Consequently, feed small portions once or twice daily to maintain vibrant colours.

Breeding

Breeding these fish is easy, as females give birth to live fry every 30–45 days. For example, use dense plants or a breeding box to protect fry from being eaten by adults. Moreover, fry can be fed powdered fish food or baby brine shrimp after birth.
