Fancy Guppy Pair Mini Tiger King Cobra (locally bred)

"Fancy Guppy Pair Mini Tiger King Cobra" is a type of ornamental guppy, known for its vibrant colors and striking patterns. Here are some details about this fish:

1. Temperature: Fancy guppies, including the Mini Tiger King Cobra variety, thrive in a temperature range of 74-82°F (23-28°C). Keeping the water within this range is crucial for their overall health and well-being.

2. Minimum Tank Size: For a pair of Fancy Guppies like the Mini Tiger King Cobra, a minimum tank size of 10-15 gallons is recommended. Providing adequate space is essential for their comfort and allows for better water quality management.

Feeding Habits: Fancy guppies are omnivorous and will accept a wide range of foods. They can be fed a diet that includes high-quality flakes, pellets, freeze-dried or live foods such as daphnia, brine shrimp, and small insects. It's a good idea to offer a varied diet to ensure they receive essential nutrients.

Habitat Preference: Guppies are native to slow-moving freshwater streams, rivers, and pools in South America, particularly in regions like Venezuela, Trinidad, and Barbados. They prefer densely planted aquariums with plenty of hiding spots and open swimming areas. Dense vegetation mimics their natural habitat and provides shelter for fry (baby guppies).

Water pH Level: Guppies are quite adaptable, but they tend to thrive in slightly alkaline water with a pH level between 7.0 and 7.6. However, they can tolerate a wider pH range as long as it remains stable.

Behavior: Fancy guppies, including the Mini Tiger King Cobra variety, are generally peaceful and social fish. They are known for their active and playful nature. They can be kept with other peaceful community fish, but it's best to avoid aggressive or fin-nipping species that might harass them.

Guppies are social and prefer the company of their kind. It's recommended to keep them in small groups, ideally with more females than males to prevent excessive male aggression. A ratio of 2-3 females to 1 male is often suggested to maintain harmony.

Other Details:

• Guppies are known for their livebearing reproduction. They give birth to live fry, and the fry are quite small and vulnerable, so providing ample hiding places and/or a separate breeding tank is a good idea if you want to raise the young.
• These fish have been selectively bred for their striking colors and patterns. The Mini Tiger King Cobra variety may exhibit a combination of vibrant colors and intricate patterns, which can vary between individuals.
• Regular water changes and good filtration are essential to maintain water quality, as guppies can be sensitive to poor water conditions.

Remember that maintaining stable water parameters and providing a well-balanced diet are key to keeping your Fancy Guppy Pair Mini Tiger King Cobra healthy and vibrant.
