Tequila Sunrise Male Guppy
Tequila Sunrise Male Guppy
The Tequila Sunrise Male Guppy is a vibrant fancy livebearer named for its dazzling sunrise-inspired coloration — a warm body that glows golden-yellow near the head and blazes into fiery orange and red across the tail, just like the cocktail it’s named after. Lively and endlessly eye-catching, these males bring a bold burst of tropical warmth 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 fiery yellow-to-red gradient stands out beautifully against green planted tanks and darker substrates.

Diet & Feeding
Tequila Sunrise 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 warm yellow, orange, 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.
