Blue Red Ribbon Guppy
Blue Red Ribbon Guppy for Sale
The Blue Red Ribbon Guppy, also known as the Red Blue Ribbon Guppy, is a striking fancy guppy prized for its rich blue body, red accents, and flowing ribbon-like finnage. Ribbon guppies carry an extended fin trait that gives the dorsal and anal fins a long, trailing, ribbon appearance, adding graceful movement to the tank. Hardy, active, and endlessly colorful, they are one of the most rewarding livebearers for community aquariums.
Blue Red Ribbon Guppies are a great choice for hobbyists looking for an easy-to-keep, eye-catching fish that adds constant movement and color to planted and community tanks. Males show the boldest color and the most dramatic ribbon finnage, while females are larger and fuller-bodied.

Best Aquarium Setup for Blue Red Ribbon Guppies
Blue Red Ribbon Guppies do best in a mature, well-maintained aquarium with gentle filtration, open swimming space, and some planted cover. Live plants, driftwood, and a calm flow help them feel secure and show off their best color. They appreciate slightly hard, neutral to alkaline water, which mirrors the conditions guppies thrive in.
Because they are active, social livebearers, guppies are best kept in groups. A ratio of more females than males helps reduce stress on the females and keeps the group calm and active.
Blue Red Ribbon Guppy Tank Mates
Blue Red Ribbon Guppies are peaceful and do well with many community fish of similar size and temperament. Good tank mates may include other guppies, mollies, platies, tetras, rasboras, corydoras catfish, kuhli loaches, and snails or shrimp.
Avoid large aggressive fish and known fin nippers such as some barbs, which may damage their long, flowing ribbon fins. They look their best in calm community aquariums with other gentle species.
Feeding Blue Red Ribbon Guppies
Blue Red Ribbon Guppies are easy to feed and accept a wide variety of aquarium foods. Offer a high-quality flake or micro pellet as a staple diet, along with frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms for variety and improved coloration. A varied diet keeps them healthy and brings out their vivid blue and red colors.
Important Care Notes
Guppies are livebearers and will readily breed in the aquarium, so expect fry if you keep males and females together. Provide dense plants or a breeding box if you want to raise the young. As with all fish, acclimate new arrivals slowly and keep up with regular water changes and stable water quality.
