Tank Setup

Red Moscow Guppies do best in a clean, established freshwater aquarium with stable water parameters, gentle to moderate filtration, and plenty of open swimming space. They are well suited for planted aquariums, peaceful community tanks, and guppy-focused displays.

Live plants, floating plants, and aquarium décor provide cover, reduce stress, and give fry places to hide. A secure aquarium lid is recommended because guppies may jump when startled.

Diet & Feeding

Red Moscow Guppies are easy to feed and thrive on a varied diet. Offer quality flakes, micro pellets, small granules, frozen foods, freeze-dried foods, and occasional vegetable-based foods.

A varied diet helps support natural coloration, activity, growth, and overall condition. Feed small portions once or twice daily, offering only what the fish can consume within a few minutes.

Compatible Tank Mates

Red Moscow Guppies are peaceful and generally do well with other calm community fish. Suitable tank mates may include:

• Small peaceful tetras
• Rasboras
• Corydoras catfish
• Endlers
• Platies
• Mollies
• Peaceful snails
• Shrimp in well-established aquariums

Avoid aggressive fish, persistent fin nippers, and large predatory species that may harass, injure, or eat guppies.

Livebearer Information

Guppies are livebearers, meaning females give birth to live fry rather than laying eggs. When males and females are housed together, breeding may occur readily.

Live plants, floating plants, moss, and other dense cover can improve fry survival by providing hiding places from adult fish.
