Flamingo Male Guppy
Flamingo Male Guppy
The Flamingo Male Guppy is a stunning fancy livebearer prized for its vivid pink-to-red body coloration that fades from a soft, pale pink near the head into a deep, fiery red along the tail — a gradient reminiscent of a flamingo’s plumage. Active, hardy, and endlessly eye-catching, these males bring a warm splash of color to any community aquarium.
Each male displays the long, flowing fins and shimmering finnage that make fancy guppies a favorite among both beginners and seasoned aquarists. Their bold coloration stands out beautifully against green planted tanks and contrasting substrates.

Diet & Feeding
Flamingo Guppies are omnivores and thrive on a varied diet. Offer a quality flake or micro-pellet food as a staple, supplemented with frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms. Color-enhancing foods help intensify their pink and red tones.
Tank Mates
These peaceful guppies do well with other community fish such as mollies, platies, tetras, rasboras, corydoras, and peaceful shrimp. Avoid housing them with fin-nipping or aggressive species that may damage their long fins.
Care Notes
Guppies appreciate clean, well-filtered water and regular partial water changes. They are livebearers, so a single tank may quickly produce fry — provide plants or hiding spots if you wish to raise young, or keep males only to prevent breeding.
