🐟 White Mosaic Snake Skin Guppy Care Tips

✅ Tank Requirements

• Tank Size: Minimum 40 litres for a small colony; larger tanks offer better stability.
• Group Size: Keep in groups of 3 or more; they are social fish and thrive in small schools.
• Substrate: Fine gravel or sand; a dark substrate helps highlight their unique white colour.
• Filtration: Gentle filtration is recommended to prevent strong currents that may tire them out.

🌡️ Water Parameters

• Temperature: 22–28°C (72–82°F)
• pH: 7.0–8.2
• Hardness: 8–18 dGH (prefers moderately hard water)
• TDS: 200–400 ppm

🍽️ Diet

• Omnivores: Feed a high-quality flake food, micro-pellets, or frozen foods like brine shrimp.
• Supplement with vegetable-based flakes for growth and to maintain vibrant colour.

🧼 Tank Maintenance

• Perform weekly water changes (10–15%) using dechlorinated, temperature-matched water.
• Ensure your filter is cleaned regularly to maintain clear water and healthy beneficial bacteria levels.

🤝 Tank Mates

• Peaceful; best kept with other community fish like tetras, corydoras, or peaceful snails.
• Avoid aggressive fin-nippers that may damage their delicate, flowing tails.

🍀 Colour & Health Enhancement

• Lighting: Moderate lighting helps display their intricate mosaic patterns beautifully.
• Diet: A mineral-rich, varied diet supports healthy growth and vibrant colour:

• High-quality colour-enhancing flakes
• Occasional live or frozen protein foods for vitality
• Calcium-rich treats to support skeletal health
