Whether you’re packing for a quick city break or an action-packed adventure cruise, there’s one essential you can’t leave home without: a good travel toothbrush. While there’s nothing to stop you from taking your regular toothbrush with you on vacation, the best options are lightweight and compact, with a durable travel case or brush cap to keep things hygienic in transit. We’ve selected the most travel-friendly picks from our ongoing electric toothbrush tests to round up this list of the very best. Each toothbrush was rated for ease of use, functionality, overall quality, value, and portability.

We also researched the best manual travel toothbrush options, including folding and disposable picks for those who prioritize portable convenience. There’s even an all-in-one kit since dental floss , mouthwash, and toothpaste are just as important as your travel toothbrush, because as dental hygienist Caroline Amerson, RDH, BSDH, MS, says, “the bacteria in your mouth work 24/7, 365 days a year even when you’re on vacation.” Read on to find our top picks for all your travel needs.

Best Overall, Electric

Oral-b genius x limited.

This toothbrush uses artificial intelligence to deliver a futuristic brushing experience enhanced by an integrated timer and pressure sensor.

The brush is slightly top-heavy and tips easily if knocked.

For tech-savvy perfectionists, it’s difficult to imagine a better toothbrush than the Oral-B Genius X Limited, an AI-enabled masterpiece that managed to seriously impress us, despite having previously only used manual toothbrushes and balking at this one’s considerable price tag. Even with its many bells and whistles, we found it intuitive to use right out of the box. The toothbrush uses Bluetooth to connect to an app on your smartphone, where you can view a diagram of your teeth that shows which areas have been correctly cleaned in real time.

We found the ability to see when we had achieved complete coverage very satisfying. The app also provides tips for effective brushing, saves your brushing history, and gives you the option to choose which modes are activated by toggling through the toothbrush’s easy-to-operate button. These range from the default (daily clean) to intense, sensitive, whitening, gum care, and tongue clean settings. Our favorite feature was the ring of LED lights that flashes red when you brush too hard (handy for those with receding gums).

We also appreciated the built-in timer, which not only alerts you when you’ve brushed for the recommended two minutes but also lets you know how long to spend on each quadrant of your mouth. The toothbrush itself is comfortable to hold, with a small, round head that reaches the furthest areas of the mouth and glides over teeth easily. We felt as though our teeth had been professionally cleaned each time. Finally, your investment is protected while traveling by a sturdy, slimline travel case.

Best Overall, Manual

Boka classic manual toothbrush.

This toothbrush features activated charcoal-infused bristles for maximum whitening and bacteria reduction.

There’s just one bristle strength available (extra soft).

The Boka Classic Manual Toothbrush is our top pick for those who like to brush manually in their everyday lives or are hesitant to travel with an expensive electric toothbrush. It’s lightweight, with a sleek, simple build that feels comfortable in the hand and a compact head that reaches easily into tight spaces. We love that the bristles are extra soft, making them gentle on sensitive gums and teeth; yet long and tapered for an effective clean around the gumline.

Given their softness, the bristles are surprisingly durable. They’re also infused with activated charcoal for maximum cleanliness and odor reduction without resorting to abrasive charcoal pastes and powders. The bioplastic handle scores sustainability points while the included protective cap keeps things hygienic when traveling. Choose yours in white, pink, mint, or blue.

The Details: Manual | Brush cap | Extra soft bristles

AquaSonic Electric Toothbrush

This toothbrush offers many of the same key features as the more expensive ones on our list, for a fraction of the price.

The brush head is a bit small.

Approved by the American Dental Association (ADA), the AquaSonic Vibe Series Ultra Whitening Toothbrush is made for travel with a slim, lightweight body and a custom, hard plastic travel case with space for two extra brush heads. We love that the battery lasts for four full weeks, so unless you’re going on an extended trip, you don’t even need to pack the charger. When it does run out of battery, ultra-fast wireless charging eliminates the hassle of having cables all over your bathroom counter.

The toothbrush produces 40,000 vibrations per minute and includes four modes: clean, whiten, massage, and soft for sensitive gums. We found it easy to switch between the settings with a push of a button. Smart vibration timers indicate the 30-second and two-minute marks. We brushed immediately after eating gummy sweets and dried mango and felt that the toothbrush did an admirable job of cleaning our teeth. It comes with eight replacement heads in cute colors ranging from satin rose gold to mint green metallic.

Best Splurge

Philips sonicare prestige 9900 toothbrush.

This toothbrush offers AI-powered sensitive brushing, app connectivity, and a beautiful charging case that’s perfect for travel.

The expense is only worth it if you plan on using all of the extra features.

The Philips Sonicare Prestige 9900 is the most advanced electric toothbrush in the Philips range, coming in at almost twice the price of our already spendy overall winner. However, if you’re particularly invested in your oral care, it may well be worth the splurge. It’s easy to set up, ready to use right out of the box, and comfortable to hold (not too heavy, not too light, with a smooth, matte surface). There are five modes and three intensity settings to choose from, and we appreciated that we could switch between them while brushing. 

The toothbrush uses intelligent SenseIQ technology to sense pressure, motion, and coverage up to 100 times per second. It uses this information to adapt intensity automatically. An LED indicator warns you if you scrub too hard or apply too much pressure; while vibration alerts tell you when to switch brushing areas and when your two minutes are up. We liked being able to view a 3D map of our brushing efforts on the AI-powered Sonicare app, while the All-in-One brush head with its extra-long, angled bristles gave us that fresh-from-the-dentist smoothness after every brush. 

We particularly appreciated that the elegant, vegan leather travel case doubles as a charger for travel-ready convenience. The battery lasts approximately two weeks (enough for most trips) and has an icon to indicate how much charge remains.

Best for Sensitive Gums

Philips sonicare protectiveclean electric toothbrush.

This toothbrush offers three intensities and three brushing modes, including one especially designed for gum care.

While we liked the simplicity of not having an app or Bluetooth connectivity, some may miss these features.

The Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 is specially designed for sensitive teeth and gums. It’s also ideal for orthodontics and dental work including braces, crowns, and veneers. A built-in pressure sensor emits a gentle pulsing sound whenever you brush too hard, while other vibrating alerts let you know when to switch brushing areas and when your two minutes are up. You can choose between three intensities and three brushing modes: clean, white, and gum care. The latter adds an extra minute of reduced-power brushing for a gentle gum massage.

We used all of the settings each time we brushed. Toggling through them was easy, although we had to stop brushing to do so which limited the usefulness of the two-minute timer. The brush was comfortable to hold and easy to maneuver, leaving our teeth perfectly clean and smooth. This model also features intelligent BrushSync, which adjusts the intensity according to the type of brush head used and notifies you via a light on the handle when it’s time to change heads. The toothbrush comes with a compact charging base and a sturdy, hygienic travel case.

Best Folding

Gum folding travel toothbrush.

With a handle that doubles as a protective case, this toothbrush is ideal for slipping into a carry-on or backpack pocket.

The case features ventilation holes and is therefore not completely sealed.

For maximum on-the-go convenience, we love the Gum Folding Travel Toothbrush. Its tri-fold design reduces its size considerably for easy packing, while the handle doubles as a sturdy travel case to protect bristles from germs in transit. Tiny holes allow air to pass through so that the brush can continue to dry even if packed damp; similarly, a special coating prevents bacteria from accumulating.

Unlike some other folding toothbrushes, this one is just as sturdy as a regular toothbrush when unfolded, with a full-sized head. Meanwhile, the bristles are soft enough for sensitive gums with a multi-level design that enables them to clean effectively in between teeth. When you’re finished brushing, use the tongue cleaner on the reverse side of the head to complete your oral hygiene routine.

The Details: Manual | Handle doubles as a travel case | Soft bristles

Best Disposable

Freshee 5-in-1 disposable mini toothbrush.

You don’t need water to use these mini toothbrushes.

The disposable concept isn’t very environmentally friendly.

The Freshee 5-in-1 Disposable Mini Toothbrush is the ideal solution for those long travel days when access to a bathroom isn’t always convenient. That’s because it’s pre-pasted with a gel bubble filled with a liquid toothpaste designed for use without water. And, since it also minimizes foam production you won’t need to spit. Each toothbrush is individually wrapped to keep it sterile until you’re ready to use it.

The tiny packet fits in a jacket pocket, wallet, or carry-on pouch and since you throw the toothbrush away after use, you don’t have to worry about packing the damp brush away again. Despite its diminutive size, the toothbrush takes care of all your oral hygiene needs. Pull the handle apart to reveal a toothpick, then use the flossing stick on the end to clean in between each tooth. There’s even a tongue scraper on the back of the toothbrush head for optimal oral cleaning.

Spark Dental Co. Dental Travel Kit

This kit provides everything you need to keep your teeth clean in a TSA-approved, travel-ready bag.

The zippered pouch could be more durable.

Don’t have time to shop around for all of the dental care items you need ahead of your next trip? The Spark Dental Co. Travel Kit includes them all in a single purchase. First up, there’s a travel toothbrush with soft bristles and a tapered head for navigating the furthest reaches of your mouth. This toothbrush folds into its own handle, halving its size when packed and protecting it from germs — although some may find the locking mechanism is a little flimsy.

Other contents include a travel-sized tube of minty Crest toothpaste and a miniature bottle of Scope mouthwash. Both have been specifically chosen to comply with TSA rules for liquids and gels on airplanes. Finally, the kit includes a box of Oral-B dental floss for a true deep clean. All of these items come in a leakproof, zippered plastic pouch that can be used over and over again. There’s even a little space for any extra items you may wish to add.

We picked the best travel toothbrushes based on a combination of real-world testing and thorough research. All of our electric toothbrush picks were tested at home, where we evaluated them for ease of use, design, functionality, features, and quality. The selections in this article are some of our favorites from various real-world tests. The manual toothbrushes were selected by meticulously researching available data, trends, and other online reviews. We also interviewed a dental hygienist to make sure we knew what features to look for when selecting toothbrushes.

Tips for Buying a Travel Toothbrush

Decide whether you want something manual or electric.

If your budget allows for it, dental hygienist Caroline Amerson, RDH, BSDH, MS, says an electric toothbrush is always preferable to a manual one in terms of providing superior dental care. That’s because an electric toothbrush performs over 30,000 strokes per minute whereas a manual one can only perform around 300. Even if you’re going on a wilderness expedition with no access to electricity (or if you’re just worried about finding the correct adapter), a fully charged electric toothbrush will likely last for several weeks.

Amerson also points out that it’s possible to extend battery life by using the toothbrush manually in the morning and switching the electric motor on at night when it’s imperative to remove plaque and food before sleep. And, she says, just as a broken escalator turns into a functional set of stairs, so an uncharged electric toothbrush can be used as a manual one in a pinch. You could also look for an electric toothbrush with a travel-specific charging case. There is one caveat — disposable, pre-pasted toothbrushes are ideal for travel days when access to running water is difficult and you want to avoid packing a separate tube of toothpaste.

Choose the right bristle type for your teeth

Amerson says that you should only ever consider using a toothbrush with soft or extra-soft bristles. In fact, she says that “medium or hard bristles should be reserved for cleaning the grout between your bathroom tiles!” She also points out that the two major electric toothbrush brands in the United States (Oral-B and Sonicare) offer different brush head styles. Oral-B brushes use a round oscillating head which requires hopping from tooth to tooth using a slight rocking motion.

Meanwhile, Sonicare brushes have a more traditional head that should be held against the teeth with the last row of bristles sweeping the gumline. There’s no need to exert any pressure or implement any special kind of motion — just let the toothbrush glide around your mouth. Amerson points out that both styles work equally well, although she finds that Sonicare brushes offer an easier and more natural transition from manual toothbrushes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Keeping your toothbrush clean in transit requires some kind of traveling case or brush cap to prevent the bristles from coming into contact with germs. Amerson recommends choosing a case that has air vents in it to allow the bristles to dry properly. And when it comes to storing your toothbrush at your destination, try not to keep it in the same space as the toilet but rather on a nightstand or in the sink area if the latter is separate to the toilet. Finally, if you become unwell on your travels, consider purchasing a replacement toothbrush or switching out the head to prevent lingering bacteria from prolonging the sickness.

Unless space is a major concern — in which case, a folding manual toothbrush like the one listed above is your best bet — you should be able to use your everyday toothbrush on your travels. The amount you can expect to spend depends on whether you choose a manual toothbrush (usually in the $1 to $5 range) or an electric one (anywhere from $20 for a budget brand like Quip to $300+ for a top of the range choice from Sonicare). Amerson says that if high-end electric toothbrushes are out of your budget, any toothbrush with a motor is better than one without, so spend what you can while bearing in mind that a better quality product will last longer and offer more value in terms of cost per use.

According to TSA guidelines , electric toothbrushes may be packed in both your checked and carry-on luggage. The exception is those that use lithium ion batteries, which MUST be packed in your carry-on. Airports and airlines outside the U.S. may have different rules, but the general consensus seems to be that keeping your electric toothbrush with you in the cabin is the best and most acceptable practice.

What Is the Best Travel Electric Toothbrush for Air Travel?

Toothbrush Buyer’s Guide

When looking for a travel toothbrush there are a few things that you need to consider.

First of all, think about how much space you will have to accommodate your toothbrush. If you are traveling light this will be a priority, and it may depend on how long your trip is going to take.

This may also affect whether you decide between a manual or electric toothbrush. A shorter trip may warrant a manual toothbrush.

However, if you are going to be away from home for a while you don’t want your dental health to suffer. In this case you may want to take an electric toothbrush.

Time away also means you will need to be able to charge up your electric toothbrush so consider how long it takes to charge as well as how long the charge will last.

Different toothbrushes have different heads with most electric toothbrushes having round heads and manual toothbrushes the more traditional elongated heads.

Choosing the right one for traveling is just as important as the one you will use at home.

Finally, you need to consider the hygiene of your toothbrush while you are traveling.

At home, you will put your toothbrush somewhere to dry after use but when you are living out of your luggage it is tempting to put your wet toothbrush back into your toiletries bag.

When traveling most considerations about toiletries come down to size and the same applies to your toothbrush.

If you are planning to take a full-sized cosmetic bag in your checked luggage then you will have room for a regular toothbrush, either manual or electric.

However, if you are only going to take a carry-on piece of luggage with you there is a case for having a travel-sized toothbrush.

Some are smaller in size than a regular toothbrush while others are foldable.

Of course, you could always pack your regular electric toothbrush in your checked luggage and have a pack of disposable toothbrushes in your carry-on case.

After all, you never know when your flight might be delayed or the worst could happen, and your luggage gets lost.

The best course of action is to think about how accessible you want your toothbrush to be in your luggage and how often you will be using it while you are actually traveling.

Manual Or Electric

Most people use electric toothbrushes these days as they are recognized as being much more effective at cleaning your teeth than a manual toothbrush.

In most cases, they are 100% more effective, so it’s easy to see why they are preferred.

But if you think you will have issues with getting access to a charging point for your electric toothbrush you may have to take a manual toothbrush if only as a backup.

While they may not be as effective as electric toothbrushes, a manual brush is better than no toothbrush.

Of course, the room you have in your luggage is another consideration when deciding between manual and electric toothbrushes.

Limited space may make a manual folding toothbrush a more sensible choice than a bulky electric toothbrush with a case and charger.

If you have the room, an electric toothbrush in your checked luggage and a manual in your carry-on cover you for most eventualities. Read our guide about taking an electric toothbrush on a plane .

Charging Times

When you do choose to take an electric toothbrush on your travels then knowing how long it takes to fully charge is important.

A good tip is to plug it in as soon as you get to your accommodation and keep it charging when you can.

If you are moving around a lot and not staying in one place for the duration of your trip, take advantage of when you can get access to a charging point for your electric toothbrush.

Some electric toothbrushes such as the SURI Sustainable sonic toothbrush charges in just 4 hours and lasts for a month on a single charge.

Others like the Philips Sonicare 9900 Prestige take 16 hours to charge, so this is something to bear in mind.

The Colgate Hum operates on rechargeable batteries which last 10 days on one charge and the batteries only have a 90-day life.

If you are on a long trip you may need to take extra batteries with you as replacements.

Cleaning your teeth when you are traveling or on holiday is just as important if not more so than when you are at home.

When we travel, we are more likely to indulge in foods we might not eat on a regular basis.

For this reason, it is important to have a toothbrush with a head that effectively cleans your teeth.

You may find an oscillating toothbrush works best for you, or perhaps you prefer a sweeping action on your electric toothbrush.

Whatever you would use at home you should try to duplicate as closely as possible while you are traveling.

It is also easy to fall out of our regular routine when we travel or are on holiday. This is another reason to not skimp on the right toothbrush head for your dental hygiene.

Skipping your routine can have implications for your dental health.

A good quality toothbrush should ensure that any lapses in routine do not have a negative impact on the health of your teeth and gums.

As well as keeping your teeth hygienically clean while you are traveling it is equally important to maintain the hygiene of your toothbrush.

It is an easy habit to fall into, packing a wet toothbrush, but this provides a breeding ground for bacteria.

Even putting a damp toothbrush into its travel case can result in a build-up of nasty germs.

Some electric toothbrushes such as the SURI Sustainable sonic toothbrush have a travel case that is also a self-cleaning unit.

It uses UV-C light to kill off any bacteria that may be breeding on your toothbrush bristles.

If you don’t have a self-cleaning unit for your toothbrush make sure you allow it plenty of time to air dry before packing it in your luggage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is The Most Sanitary Way To Store A Toothbrush?

Treat your toothbrush the same way you would at home when you are traveling. Allow it to stand upright in a good flow of air to dry after use.

Of course, you should always thoroughly rinse your toothbrush after use to remove all traces of toothpaste and food particles.

You should never pack a wet or damp toothbrush as it encourages bacteria.

How Long Should You Keep A Travel Toothbrush?

Any toothbrush whether your regular one at home or your travel toothbrush should be changed every three months.

This is because they accumulate bacteria regardless of how often they are used.

Should You Cover Your Toothbrush?

While covering your toothbrush may seem like the right thing to do to keep it clean this is not what you should do.

Allow your toothbrush to stand upright, not lying down in a well-ventilated area of your bathroom.

Good airflow around the toothbrush head is important to allow it to dry out and prevent the growth and breeding of bacteria.

This is because bacteria thrive in a moist environment and by covering your toothbrush that is exactly what you are providing.

Do You Cover Your Toothbrush When Traveling?

When traveling, you should keep your toothbrush in its travel case. Make sure that it has had enough time to dry out completely before packing it.

As soon as you get to your accommodation take it out of its travel case.

Purple Moscow Guppy Fish – All You Need to Know

VIVO Pets » Fish » Guppies » Purple Moscow Guppy Fish – All You Need to Know

Every guppy owner dreams of having the most beautiful and unique guppy breeds, making the Purple Moscow guppy one of the most sought-after on the market.

Depending on the strain, color pattern, and overall traits, you can purchase the Purple Moscow at prices varying between $40 and $100. This is one of the most expensive guppy lineages, thanks to the rare and sublime coloring.

They will provide the tank with vibrant spots of color that no other guppy strain can.

Today’s article will dive into the Purple Moscow guppy to analyze professional breeding, feeding patterns, tank mates , and overall care.

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by JP Tanks (@jptanks)

How to Breed Purple Moscow Guppies?

Few people purchase this breed for personal use only. Purple Moscow guppies are expensive by anyone’s standards, making them the ideal candidates for breeding for profit.

To ensure the success of the breeding procedures, you should undergo several key steps:

Step 1: Get your guppies from experienced breeders – The success of the breeding process will depend on the initial guppy pairs. You need to make sure that you get healthy and strong guppies with unique traits and desirable features. These will only come from reputed breeders who have perfected the art of selective breeding. Ordinary fish shops will only provide subpar specimens with weak immune systems and faulty features. Avoid them!

Step 2: Set up multiple aquariums – When it comes to selective breeding, you will be dealing with several generations. Your goal is to obtain the most exhilarating traits, and this can only come from a high level of control. I suggest having at least 6 or 7 tanks to separate the original guppy pairs from their offspring and distinguish between fit and unfit genetic traits.

Step 3: Learn when to separate males from females – You are now into controlled breeding, which means you need to thoroughly supervise and understand the process. You should only keep the males and females together for about a week, after which you need to separate them. Otherwise, the males will stress out the females, affecting their pregnancy and immune system. In the wild, the females would just leave the area, an option which isn’t there for tank guppies.

Step 4: Ensure an optimal breeding environment – The fry needs to have a comfortable environment, providing plenty of cover and hiding spots. I recommend placing live plants in the tank so that your guppy fry will feel comfortable and safe.

Step 5: Make genetic distinctions – The resulting fry will all possess varying traits, some good, some bad. You need to distinguish between them and separate the ones you want to keep from the rest. This will ensure greater control over the breeding process and ensure better results.

Step 6: Prepare the next breeding generation – The next breeding generation should contain only the top specimens. Select the fry with the most desirable traits and separate them from the group for future breeding. The better their features, the higher the change that the second-generation fry will inherit them.

How and What to Feed Purple Moscow Guppies?

Purple Moscow guppies are omnivores, the same as any other type of guppy . They prefer live food and plants in balanced amounts, providing them with all the nutrients necessary for healthy growth.

I would recommend avoiding commercial foods. After all, you are growing some of the most expensive guppies on the market. Commercial fish food isn’t nearly as nutrient-rich as live food like brine shrimp , daphnia, or vinegar eels. They need high-quality food to boost their growth, strengthen their immune system, and allow them to thrive.

Just make sure you feed your guppies live food in moderation. Adult guppies don’t do well with too much protein and fat. You should also calculate the right amount of food to feed your guppies. Overfeeding can lead to water poisoning, causing your guppies to experience a variety of health issues.

What to Know About Purple Moscow Guppies?

While all guppy lineages belong to the same breed, they can vary slightly in terms of genetics and lifestyle requirements.

Here are a few details on the Purple Moscow guppy to help you understand this strain better:

• Overall size – The Purple Moscow male will reach around 2 inches in length, while a female will typically rest at about 2.8 tops. Females are slightly larger, which is common in the guppy world, with males appearing overall thinner and more athletic. These measurements place the Purple Moscow among the largest guppy breeds available.
• Lifespan – The Purple Moscow guppy can live 2 years of average, depending on its diet and overall care. Several factors will influence a guppy’s lifespan, including the level of stress throughout its life, illnesses, parasites, diet, water quality, etc. You can definitely provide your Purple Moscow guppy with a lifespan longer than 2 years, provided you ensure the optimal environment with proper care and assistance.
• Water requirements – Purpose Moscow guppies, aren’t more demanding when it comes to water requirements than regular guppies. The water temperature should revolve around 72 to 80 °F with a pH of 7.5 and water hardness of 10. Naturally, you should ensure zero levels of ammonia and nitrites. To maintain these parameters, I recommend changing the water at least twice per week. You may also need to change it more often if you’re into selective breeding and handling multiple guppies at once.
• The best tank size – Purple Moscow guppies may require more space to grow, which is why a 10-gallon tank is the minimum acceptable. If you’re performing selective breeding, I recommend aiming higher than that. A 20 or maybe 40-gallon, or even a 55-gallon tank would be even better, allowing you to have more fry in the same environment. A larger tank will provide Purple Moscow guppies with the space they need to remain active, energetic, and healthy.
• Compatible tank mates – You can keep Purple Moscow guppies with other fish species like swordtail, cory catfish, bristlenose pleco, or angelfish . I wouldn’t do it, however. While these are calm and peaceful fish that will pose no direct threat to your guppies, you need to consider the indirect risks. Your Purple Moscow guppies will be secure from a genetic perspective with strong immune systems and low risk of illness. Other species may not be so fortunate and can spread parasites and diseases that can kill your guppies . And knowing how expensive and precious Purple Moscow guppies are, that’s the last thing you want.

The Purple Moscow guppy is one of the most beautiful and exquisite fish you can get. Whether you’re into selective breeding or simply grow guppies as a hobby, you can’t not have several Purple Moscow specimens in your tank.

Purple Moscow guppies or purple guppies are not very common due to their price tag. Purple guppies can cost around $40-$100, depending on their strain.

Due to selective breeding, purple guppies are not as hardy as general fancy guppies. Therefor you should only buy these types of guppies if you have good experience in fish keeping.

In this article you can learn how to care, breed and feed purple Moscow guppies. Will also give you some tips on the best water parameters

The Origin of Purple Moscow Guppies

The Moscow guppies are a strain that was developed through selective breeding in Russia in the late 80’s for their beautiful blue color.

Moscow guppies are usually larger in size and males are fully colored featuring a bright, shiny, metallic sheen. Female Moscow guppies tend to be more colored than other guppy strains.

These guppy types usually have longer dorsal and caudal fins. Some very rare strains feature really long anal fin, which is one or two times longer than their body.

Moscow guppies come in different colors: blue, black, purple and green.

Here is a short video of beautiful purple male Moscow guppies:

Breeding Purple Moscow Guppies for Profit

If you are going to spend a hundred dollars for a pair of purple Moscow guppies, probably you would not do it only to admire them. Most likely, you are going to breed them as soon as possible.

If you want to maximize your profits on breeding purple Moscow guppies, you will want to setup a small breeding operation.

I would do the following:

Setup at least 6 aquariums, of 10 gallons each and let them cycle for at least 3-6 weeks.

Get a pair of high quality and healthy guppies from a well-known breeder.

Place the male and female in a tank and let them breed for one week.

Separate them after one week and put them in separate tanks. You can allow line of sight between them.

It is necessary to separate the female, because the male will stress her out constantly. You want to avoid any stress in order to produce the best quality guppy babies.

Feed them live food daily and do regular water changes. Remineralized RO/DI water would be the best option to avoid any contamination.

Before the female is due, add a breeding mop or lots of live plants into the tank. You want to save as many purple Moscow guppy fry as possible. If you lucky enough, you can end up with 30-50 fry from the first batch.

Once the female is done giving birth, you can scoop her out and place it in the tank with the male. And start the process again.

With proper food, feeding schedule and water changes you can raise the fry in just 3 months to a decent sellable size. I’ve wrote a complete guide on how to dramatically increase guppy fry growth .

Sorting the fry by sex and size is also important as well the culling. When your fry reach around 3 months old, you can already see the colors and shapes you want to bring further in the next generations.

Select 3 males and 4 females, which you will breed in the next months. Don’t select only one male and female.

You never know what could go wrong and you always need a backup plan in case one of your fish from the breeding pair dies.

Feeding Purple Moscow Guppies

Just like all guppies, purple Moscow guppies are omnivores. They will eat basically anything, including commercial flakes, veggie pellets, frozen food, spirulina or even home-made food .

If you want to grow beautiful and healthy purple guppies, I recommend avoiding the commercial foods. Try to feed them as much live food as possible such as brine shrimp, daphnia and vinegar eels.

Micro worms and blood worms are also a great source of fat and protein, but these are best for fry. You should avoid feeding too much to adult guppies due to the high fat content.

Male and Female Purple Moscow Guppy Fish

Just like other guppy types , Moscow guppies are also very active breeders. Males will flare, chase and breed with the females all they long.

This process is stressful for the females. So if you decide to keep males and females together, I suggest a 1:3 male to female ratio.

From my experience and other’s suggestions, this is the best way to keep your female guppies in best shape.

Size of Purple Moscow Guppy Fish

As mentioned before, purple Moscow guppies are larger in size than general guppies. They have longer tails, fins and a thicker body.

Adult Moscow males can reach 2 inches (5 cm), while females 2.5-2.8 inches (6-7 cm) in length.

Purple Moscow Guppy Life Span

For such a rare and expensive fish, you might expect to have a long lifespan, but unfortunately the average lifespan is around 2 year for Moscow guppies too.

As I mentioned in one of my previous articles, the lifespan of guppy fish depend on various factors such as: water temperature, food, water parameters, frequency of breeding, stress, etc. I had guppies that lived for almost 5 years.

Best Water Parameters for Purple Guppies

Guppies can support a wide range of water parameters. However, if you want to breed purple Moscow guppies for profit, you will want to give them the best water parameters.

These are the best water conditions for a successful breeding operation:

• Water Temperature: 74 °F (23 °C)
• Water pH: 7.5
• Water Hardness (dGH): 10
• Ammonia and nitrites: 0 ppm
• Nitrates: 10 ppm maximum

These water conditions combined with good and variety of food will result in great success.

Minimum Tank Size for Purple Guppies

For stable water parameters and temperature, I recommend keeping Moscow guppies in at least 10 gallon aquariums.

In a 10 gallon tank, you can fit 3 males and 4 females for a short amount of time (one week). As I suggested before, if you want to breed them successfully, you want to keep males and females separated.

So keep 3 males in one 10 gallon and 4 females in other 10 gallon aquarium.

For about 3-4 weeks you can keep up to 30-50 fry in a 10 gallon aquarium. After the fry grow, you need to separate them.

Purple Moscow Guppy Tank Mates

Moscow guppies are compatible with a wide range of fish , just like other guppy strains, though I would not keep Moscow guppies in a community tank.

I would not take the risk of losing such a beautiful and expensive fish due to aggression or some diseases .

I really hope that this article was useful and gave you some helpful information on how to care for purple Moscow guppies.

Purple Moscow Guppies are lovely little fish that add a splash of color to any aquarium. But like all living things, they can get sick. Knowing about the common health problems and how to treat them can help keep your guppy friends healthy and happy. Let’s dive into some easy explanations about their health issues and treatments.

What is it? Fungus looks like white or cottony patches on the fish’s body or mouth. It can make your fish feel very sick.

How to treat: You can find medicine at the pet store that treats fungus. Adding the right amount of this medicine to the water can help your fish get better.

What is it? Fin rot happens when the edges of the fish’s fins start to look torn or frayed, and sometimes they get a white edge. It’s usually caused by dirty water or stress.

How to treat: Keeping the water clean is very important. You might also need special medicine from the pet store to help heal the fins.

3. Ich (White Spot Disease)

What is it? Ich is a common problem where fish get tiny white dots all over their body and fins. It’s caused by a parasite, and it can make your fish itch and feel uncomfortable.

How to treat: There are medicines available for treating Ich. Raising the water temperature a little bit for a few days can also help speed up the treatment.

4. Swim Bladder Disease

What is it? If your guppy is having trouble swimming, floating upside down, or sinking to the bottom, it might have swim bladder disease. This can happen if they eat too much or get hurt.

How to treat: Sometimes, not feeding your fish for a day or two can help. Also, make sure their food is high quality and try to feed them peas, which can help their digestion.

Tips for Keeping Your Guppy Healthy

• Clean Water: Change some of the water in the tank regularly to keep it clean.
• Right Food: Feed them the right amount of good quality food.
• Check Temperature: Make sure the water is at a comfortable temperature for your guppies.

Breeding Purple Moscow Guppy

Breeding Purple Moscow Guppies can be a fun and rewarding experience. These colorful fish can have lots of babies, which can add more beauty to your aquarium. Let’s learn how to breed them in easy steps.

Related readings: Can different types of guppies breed?

Getting Ready for Breeding

Before you start make sure you have a male and a female guppy. Males are usually more colorful and have bigger tails while females are bigger but less colorful. You’ll also need a separate tank for the babies called fry so they are safe and have room to grow.

Setting Up the Breeding Tank

• Tank Size: A small tank about 10-20 gallons is enough for breeding guppies.
• Water: Keep the water clean and at a comfortable temperature between 76-80 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Plants: Add some live plants. They give the female places to hide and the fry places to hide after they are born.
• Filter: Use a sponge filter or cover the filter intake. This keeps the fry from getting sucked into the filter.

The Breeding Process

• Introduce the Fish: Put your male and female guppies into the breeding tank. One male with two or three females works well because it gives the females a break from the male’s attention.
• Watch for Signs: The female’s belly will get bigger when she is carrying eggs. After about 4 weeks she will give birth to live fry.
• Birth: When the fry are born remove the adult guppies from the tank. This is to make sure the babies are safe because sometimes adults can harm them.

Caring for the Fry

• Feeding: Feed the fry special food that is small enough for them to eat. Baby brine shrimp or finely crushed flake food is good.
• Clean Water: Keep the water very clean. Changing a small amount of the water often helps.
• Space: As they grow, make sure there’s enough space for all the fry. A bigger tank might be needed as they get bigger.

Purple Moscow Guppies are wonderful little fish that bring a lot of color and joy to any aquarium. Their lifespan can vary, but with the right care, some can live up to 5 years. Breeding them can be a fun experience and a chance to see the beauty of these fish multiply. However, it’s important to pay attention to their health, as they can face some common issues like fungus, fin rot, and Ich. By keeping their water clean, feeding them properly, and watching for signs of illness, you can help ensure your guppies live long, happy lives. Remember, taking care of Purple Moscow Guppies is not just about enjoying their beauty; it’s also about understanding and meeting their needs.

• Soft bristled toothbrushes will not be too hard on your teeth's enamels. Hard bristled toothbrushes will wear away your enamels which will make it weaker and eventually cause you a great amount of pain. Harder bristles will also put an additional force on your teeth, nicking away at the integrity. Toothpaste already contains chemicals that is rough on the teeth, so don’t make it worse by using a hard bristled toothbrush into the mix.
