The Pigeon Blood Guppy Male, also known as the Red Albino Guppy, is a popular freshwater fish among aquarists. These fish are known for their strikingly beautiful and bright red or orange coloration, which is the result of selective breeding.
The male Pigeon Blood Guppy has a slender body with elongated fins, which can grow up to 2-3 inches in length. Their body is typically silver or light-coloured with a bold red or orange hue, which is more intense towards the tail. They also have black spots on their dorsal fin, which add to their unique appearance.
Pigeon Blood Guppies are peaceful and easy to care for, making them an ideal choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. They prefer slightly alkaline water with a pH level between 7.0 and 8.2 and a water temperature between 75-82°F. A well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and open swimming areas is ideal for them.
These guppies are omnivorous and will eat a variety of foods, including flakes, pellets, frozen and live foods. A varied diet is important to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients for their growth and colour development.
In terms of breeding, male Pigeon Blood Guppies are known for their elaborate courtship displays, which involve showing off their vibrant colours and fins to attract females. Females can give birth to up to 50 fry at once, and they can become pregnant again shortly after giving birth.
When it comes to tank mates, Pigeon Blood Guppies are peaceful and can be housed with other peaceful species such as tetras, Corydoras, and dwarf gourami’s. However, they should not be housed with aggressive fish that may nip their fins, as this can cause stress and injury.
