The Pigeon Blood Guppy is a strikingly patterned variant of the popular guppy, known for its vivid red-orange body and intricate mosaic or snakeskin patterns on the tail and fins. This variety gets its name from the rich, deep red hues reminiscent of the “Pigeon Blood” coloration seen in discus fish. Active, peaceful, and easy to care for, the Pigeon Blood Guppy is a great choice for community tanks and beginner aquarists.

Guppies are hardy and adaptable, doing well in a variety of water conditions as long as they are stable and clean. Males, like the Pigeon Blood variety, are particularly colourful and often smaller than females. They enjoy a varied diet of flakes, micro-pellets, and live or frozen foods such as daphnia or brine shrimp. Guppies are prolific breeders, so if mixed sexes are kept, expect frequent fry. Providing plants or hiding spots helps fry survive in community settings.
