Guppy Fancy Assorted M/F Pair
Guppy Fancy Assorted M/F Pair (Poecilia reticulata)
A selectively bred livebearer, the Fancy Guppy pair showcases the male's vivid, flowing fins alongside the female's sleeker, subtler form — together offering the full guppy experience with the added bonus of natural breeding behaviour. These active, hardy fish bring non-stop movement and colour to any community tank, and a paired setup is the perfect way to enjoy the next generation of home-bred fry.
