What You’re Getting from Legacy Line Aquatics

At Legacy Line Aquatics, these fish are bred and raised in-house by us in a small-scale, care-first setup. We do not source from mass-production fish farms. Our focus is on raising healthy fish with clean water, proper nutrition, and attentive day-to-day care, so you receive fish we would be confident keeping in our own fish room. We take a small-scale approach so we can focus on:

Fish health
Clean systems
Proper feeding, mixture of high-quality sinking pellets, live baby brine shrimp, frozen bloodworms, frozen brine shrimp, and high-quality flakes.
Parasite free

Temperament & Behavior

Red Dragon Guppies are active, social livebearers that do well in peaceful community setups. Males display often and are constantly moving, while females are generally calmer but still active. They do best in stable tanks with good water quality and compatible tank mates.

Feeding

Red Dragon Guppies thrive on a varied diet. A rotation of quality foods helps maintain color, finnage, body condition, and breeding performance.

Recommended foods:

High-quality flakes and micro pellets
Frozen foods (brine shrimp, daphnia, bloodworms as treats)
Live foods (optional, but excellent for conditioning)
Vegetable-based foods in rotation

They do best in tanks with:

Gentle to moderate flow
Plants and cover
Open swimming space
Stable water quality and temperature
A secure lid

Tank Size (Recommended)

Trio/group setup: 10 gallon minimum
Better long-term group/community setup: 20 gallons+ preferred
Larger display colony: 29 gallons+ ideal

Water Temperature

Ideal range: 74–80°F
Many hobbyists keep them around 76–78°F
A stable temperature is more important than chasing an exact number

Tank Mates (Good Choices)

Best tank mates are peaceful fish that are not fin nippers and will not harass long-finned guppies.

Good tank mates may include:

Corydoras
Small rasboras
Ember tetras
Ricefish
Peaceful snails and shrimp (with caution around shrimplets/fry)

Avoid:

Fin-nippers
Aggressive cichlids
Large predatory fish
Boisterous fish that stress guppies constantly
