Platinum Red Tail Dumbo Male Guppy

A Dumbo variety, meaning the dorsal and anal fins are enlarged and trail well past the tail. The platinum body is an iridescent grey-white that throws blue and green under light, finished with a red tail.

Care

• Water: 22-28°C, pH 6.8-7.8. Very tolerant of hard water, which suits Cape Town tap water well.
• Tank: Minimum 20 litres per guppy, 45cm wide or larger. Heavily planted and well oxygenated.
• Males: Males are territorial towards one another. One male per tank, or space them out with planting that breaks sightlines.
• Diet: Quality flake daily plus live or frozen food. Guppies breed readily on a full diet.
• Breeding: Livebearers, giving birth to free-swimming fry. Separate the young or provide dense planting if you want them to survive.

Dumbo finnage is heavier to carry than a standard guppy. Give a little more flow and space than you would a short-finned male.
