The Koi Kohaku is a type of guppy, scientifically known as Poecilia reticulata, originating from South America. Guppies are popular in the aquarium hobby due to their vibrant colors and easy-going nature. They are often considered the "starter fish" for beginners in the hobby. Known for their prolific breeding, you can purchase a group of males to enjoy their beauty without worrying about managing excess offspring.
The Koi Kohaku is a selectively bred variety with a light base color and markings on the back extending over the head. Male Koi Kohakus have a silvery to pinkish base color, with orange dorsal and caudal fins and transparent fins elsewhere. Their eyes may appear red. Males exhibit more intense coloring compared to females, which resemble the breeding target.
Guppies, including the Koi Kohaku, can breed with other guppies, such as Endler Guppies, producing fertile hybrids. Therefore, it's advisable not to keep these species together. They can coexist with fish having similar requirements, and adding natural predators can help control juvenile guppy populations. However, guppies themselves may act as predators towards their offspring. Keeping only males or females can prevent overpopulation.
Guppies primarily feed on insects, algae, and decaying plant matter in their natural habitat. In the aquarium, they can be fed commercial dry foods, softened vegetables, and occasional live or frozen foods. They thrive in medium to hard water conditions, and temperatures between 22-28°C are optimal, making a heater optional.
