The Red Cap Guppy is a beautiful addition to my 20-gallon tank. Its red cap marking stands out and it swims actively, adding energy to the aquarium. I feed it flake food and a bit of brine shrimp weekly. It gets along well with my tetras and corydoras.

This guppy has become a highlight in my tank. It’s lively and colorful, and it doesn’t stress other fish. I maintain a stable pH and temperature, and it thrives. The livebearing trait is a nice bonus for someone interested in breeding.
