Full Red Delta Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
The Full Red Delta Guppy is a stunning and highly sought-after freshwater fish known for its intense, solid red coloration from head to tail, including its large, flowing delta-shaped tail fin. This variety of guppy is a true showstopper in any aquarium, offering vibrant contrast and elegance in motion. Peaceful and easy to care for, Full Red Guppies are ideal for both beginners and experienced hobbyists. Males typically reach about 1.5 inches in length and display more vivid color than females, who are slightly larger with subtler hues. Like other guppies, they are livebearers and breed readily in a well-maintained tank. These guppies thrive in warm, clean water with gentle filtration and enjoy planted aquariums that offer both open swimming space and hiding spots.
