Platinum Red Mosaic Guppy

The Platinum Red Mosaic Guppy is a very colorful guppy variety that is distinctive due to its extra large pectoral fins, which resemble elephant ears. Various shades of red, orange, blue, violet, and yellow are present in this variety, and even females are very colorful!

Guppies typically occupy the top level of the water column, although they can often be seen swimming and feeding in the middle and bottom levels as well. They are also not afraid to jump, so they must be kept in an aquarium with either a lid/hood/canopy or at least a significantly lowered water level. They will not eat or bother plants. They are safe with other peaceful fish as long as the other fish are not known to nip at the long tail of the guppy. Adult dwarf shrimp are generally safe as well, but guppies may eat shrimp fry. Larger, peaceful invertebrates can also make good tankmates. Guppies are best kept in small groups.
