Dragon Guppy Care Guide
Poecilia reticulata var. Dragon · Freshwater Fish
What Dragon Guppy look like
Dragon Guppies are domestic Poecilia reticulata morphs selected for metallic reflective body patterning. The dragon trait is color and scale sheen, not a species difference.
Behavior & temperament
Peaceful, active, and prolific. Keep in planted hard-water aquariums with gentle companions and avoid fin nippers.
Diet & feeding
Dragon Guppies accept fine flakes, micro pellets, daphnia, baby brine shrimp, mosquito larvae, bloodworms, and spirulina foods.
Behind the name
Dragon is a trade name for metallic scale and fin patterning.
Plan your tank
Check the numbers before you buy: tank volume, a stocking plan, cycle progress, water changes, and your ongoing care routine.
