Ginga Rubra Guppy Male

The Ginga Rubra is a prestigious Japanese show guppy strain bred to the exacting Ginga standard, which demands full-body saturation of a single colour — in this case a deep, uniform ruby red from the nose to the tip of the caudal fin. The Ginga standard was developed in Japan to produce show fish with the maximum possible colour impact and symmetry.

Maintaining Ginga Rubra quality requires dedicated strain breeding, excellent water quality, and a diet heavily supplemented with carotenoids. Any lapse in care rapidly leads to colour fade that is difficult to reverse in show-quality lines.

This is a fish for the serious enthusiast — rewarding to keep and breed, but demanding in terms of care standards and genetic management.
