{"product_id":"green-cobra-guppy","title":"Green Cobra Guppy","description":"\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"88\" data-end=\"580\"\u003eThe Green Cobra Guppy is a selectively bred fancy guppy recognised for its vivid green, turquoise and yellow colouration. Males display an intricate chain-like or snakeskin pattern across the body, often continuing into a broad, fan-shaped tail marked with contrasting spots and streaks. Females are generally larger and fuller-bodied, although their colours and fins are usually less pronounced. Individual patterning can vary considerably between fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"582\" data-end=\"1068\"\u003ePeaceful, active and sociable, Green Cobra Guppies are well suited to planted community aquariums containing other small, non-aggressive species. They should be kept in groups, with a mixture of open swimming space and dense plants for shelter. When housing both sexes together, keeping two or three females for each male helps spread the males’ persistent courtship behaviour. Their flowing fins should be protected from known fin-nipping species.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1070\" data-end=\"1331\"\u003eThese hardy livebearers are suitable for newer fishkeepers but require clean, stable and well-filtered water. They perform particularly well in moderately hard, slightly alkaline conditions and should not be kept in very soft, acidic water for extended periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1333\" data-end=\"1457\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1333\" data-end=\"1356\"\u003eMaximum adult size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 5–6 cm; females are generally larger than males.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1459\" data-end=\"1544\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1459\" data-end=\"1475\"\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful, lively and sociable; suitable for most community aquariums\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1546\" data-end=\"1574\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1546\" data-end=\"1569\"\u003eDifficulty of care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"1649\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"1602\"\u003ePreferred Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22–28 °C\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1651\" data-end=\"1762\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1651\" data-end=\"1677\"\u003ePreferred pH of water:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.0–8.2; moderately hard water is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1764\" data-end=\"2064\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1764\" data-end=\"1785\"\u003eType of breeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Livebearer; fertilisation takes place internally and females give birth to fully formed, free-swimming fry.
