Albino Sliverado Red Tail Guppy

Description

The Albino Sliverado Red Tail Guppy pairs a pale, silvery-white body with striking red-orange fins that deepen toward the outer edge of the tail, creating a warm contrast against the cool body tone. The red-toned albino eyes and faint pink undertones along the back add to the soft, silvery finish that gives this strain its name.

The red colouring is concentrated mainly in the tail and dorsal fin rather than spread across the body, which makes for a clean two-tone look that photographs well against dark gravel. As the fish matures, the red on the tail typically deepens and spreads slightly further into the caudal fin, so young males often look noticeably paler than fully grown adults.

Every Albino Sliverado Red Tail Guppy from Classic Guppy is home-bred in Pune, never wild-caught, and raised on live baby brine shrimp for strong red pigmentation and healthy fins. Orders ship in insulated, heat-packed boxes with a live arrival guarantee, and you can choose a single pair, a trio, or a proven breeding pair.

Keep the Albino Sliverado Red Tail Guppy in a well-cycled aquarium of at least 10 gallons with a heater set between 24-27°C and gentle filtration. Because albino strains lack dark eye pigment, moderate lighting without harsh direct glare helps them settle in and show off the red tail colouring at its best.

A varied diet of high-quality flake, live or frozen baby brine shrimp, and occasional Larviva Mysis helps intensify the red tail colouring and supports steady breeding across generations. Consistent water quality and temperature help this strain hold its silvery body tone without looking washed out.

Tip: Guppies are shoaling fish and settle in best with company – a trio or a proven breeding pair is a great starting point for a lively, well-settled shoal.
