Their dynamic presence adds an engaging and delightful dimension to your aquatic world.
Tank Requirements: To ensure the well-being of these remarkable guppies, set up a well-maintained aquarium with a mix of live or artificial plants, driftwood, and hiding spots. They thrive in slightly alkaline water conditions with stable parameters. Providing a tank size of at least 10 gallons with proper filtration and heating will cater to their comfort and vitality.

Compatibility: These guppies are known for their peaceful disposition, making them ideal tankmates for a wide range of community fish. Their gentle nature ensures compatibility with various small, non-aggressive species. However, it's advisable to avoid aggressive or fin-nipping tankmates to maintain their stunning fins and tails.
Our Tank Parameters
For the first week I had this guy I thought maybe I’d been sent the wrong fish by mistake as he looked translucent and nothing like the fish in the picture, but his colors continue to develop more every day and he’s just stunning.
Beautiful little guppies that are doing well in my tank. My only regret is that I didn't order a trio.
I think I received a female instead of a male. Very different from picture.
