Temperature: Around 22–26°C

Adult Size: Males approximately 3–4 cm; females approximately 5–6 cm.

Lifespan: Around 2–3 years with good care.

Food: High-quality fine flakes or micro pellets, supplemented with frozen or live brine shrimp, daphnia and vegetable-based foods such as spirulina flakes.

Compatibility: Generally peaceful and suitable for community aquariums with platies, other guppies and similarly sized, peaceful fish sharing their water requirements. Avoid aggressive fish and fin-nipping species such as tiger barbs. If keeping both sexes, allow at least two to three females per male to reduce harassment. Breeds readily and gives birth to live young.
