The Red Fire Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) belongs to the family named Poeciliidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 2.0 inches in length, the Red Fire Guppy is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. Based on the particular specimen you acquire and its environment, the time when it is most active can fluctuate day or night, and will hang out or do best in the lower tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is good and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Poecilia reticulata should not be housed in a tank less than 20 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 5.5 - 8.0, temperature between 64 - 82 degrees fahrenheit, Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include planted aquarium.
