Blue Galaxy Guppies are stunning, easy-to-care-for freshwater fish prized for their vibrant blue hues and speckled galaxy-like patterns. These peaceful livebearers thrive in well-maintained aquariums of at least 10 gallons, with stable water temperatures between 72–82°F (22–28°C) and a pH of 6.8–7.8. They prefer planted tanks with gentle filtration and plenty of swimming space. Feed them a varied diet of high-quality flakes, micro pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods like daphnia or brine shrimp to enhance their coloration and vitality. Guppies are social and do best in small groups, but avoid overcrowding to prevent stress and disease. Regular water changes and monitoring for ammonia or nitrite spikes are key to keeping them healthy and active.
