Japanese Blue Gold Double Sword Guppy (Pair)

This magnificent guppy is one of the most exquisitely beautiful varieties ever developed! Even females are bright yellow! 

The Japan Blue Gold Double Sword Guppy (Poecilia reticulata "Japan Blue Gold Double Sword") is a relatively new color strain that has only very recently become available. Its vibrant coloration and outgoing personality make it a great addition and centerpiece fish for almost any community aquarium. Its sky blue and yellow coloration is nearly unrivaled. While it is rare, the Japan Blue Gold Double Sword Guppy has quickly become a popular fish for the nano or planted aquarium, particularly due to its small size, which makes it an excellent cohabitant for adult dwarf shrimp.

Guppies typically occupy the top level of the water column, although they can often be seen swimming and feeding in the middle and bottom levels as well. They are also not afraid to jump, so they must be kept in an aquarium with either a lid/hood/canopy or at least a significantly lowered water level. They will not eat or bother plants. They are safe with other peaceful fish as long as the other fish are not known to nip at the long tail of the guppy. Adult dwarf shrimp are generally safe as well, but guppies may eat shrimp fry. Larger, peaceful invertebrates can also make good tankmates. Guppies are best kept in small to large groups.

While not a picky eater, the Japan Blue Gold Double Sword Guppy will thrive and remain very colorful on a varied diet of meaty foods supplemented with foods high in spirulina or other nutritious vegetable content.  High-quality flake food, pellets, and frozen or freeze-dried foods will all be readily accepted.
