Quick Overview The Red Dragon Snakeskin Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is a true masterpiece of selective breeding and a highly sought-after strain among guppy enthusiasts. This premium variety features a brilliant, metallic body covered in an intricate, labyrinth-like “snakeskin” or rosette pattern. This pattern transitions dramatically into an oversized, flowing delta tail and dorsal fin washed in intense shades of fiery red, orange, and sometimes deep maroon. Exceptionally active and constantly on display in the top levels of the tank, these fish turn any ordinary aquarium into an instant showcase.
Tank Requirements & Local Care Tips

Temperament: Peaceful (Ideal for community tanks with peaceful nano fish, dwarf shrimp, and bottom-dwelling Corydoras)
-
Bacolod Hobbyist Tip: Because Red Dragon males boast exceptionally large, heavy, and flowing fins, they are susceptible to fin tearing and tail nipping. It is highly recommended to avoid keeping them with aggressive fin-nippers like Tiger Barbs. Instead, pair them with gentle tank mates and decorate their environment with smooth hardscape and soft live plants like Java Fern or Christmas Moss. Our Bacolod tap water provides the perfect mineral hardness that guppies love!
