Guppy Assorted Male

Guppy Assorted Male (Poecilia reticulata)

A selectively bred livebearer, the male guppy is prized for its vivid, multi-coloured tail and flowing fins in an endless array of patterns — from delta and fan tails to sword and lyre shapes. These active, hardy, and constantly displaying fish bring non-stop movement and colour to any community tank, making them one of the most popular freshwater species worldwide.
