Care Tips for Panda Guppy

1. Water Quality:
   Maintain a pH level of 6.8–7.5 and a temperature range of 24–28°C (75–82°F). Perform weekly water changes (20–30%) to ensure a clean and stable environment.

2. Lighting:
   Moderate lighting enhances their contrasting black-and-white coloration. Avoid excessive direct sunlight to prevent stress and algae buildup.

3. Diet:
   Provide a balanced diet of high-quality flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms. A diet rich in protein and color-enhancing nutrients will help maintain their deep, rich colors.

4. Tank Setup:
   A well-planted tank with a minimum of 10 gallons is ideal. Floating plants and gentle decorations create a natural and stress-free environment, while ensuring open swimming areas.

5. Tankmates:
   Panda Guppies are peaceful and should be housed with other non-aggressive fish such as tetras, mollies, and other guppies. Avoid keeping them with fin-nipping or aggressive species.

6. Monitoring:
   Regularly observe their behavior and coloration. Any signs of stress, such as faded colors or lethargy, could indicate poor water conditions or illness. Keep their environment stable and well-maintained.
