Fancy Guppy Pair (Poecilia reticulata)
Fancy Guppies are among the most popular aquarium fish, known for their striking colors and lively nature. A Fancy Guppy Pair typically includes one male and one female, with the male displaying brilliant, multi-colored patterns on his fins and tail, while the female tends to be larger and more subdued in coloration. These hardy fish are perfect for beginner aquarists, as they are relatively easy to care for and can adapt to a wide range of water conditions. Fancy Guppies are livebearers, meaning they give birth to live young, so they can quickly populate your tank if the conditions are right. They thrive in community tanks and are excellent additions for adding movement and color.
