Its green body features a distinct cobra-like pattern, making it a visually interesting choice for aquarists.

The Green Cobra Guppy thrives in clean, well-maintained water and adapts well to community tanks with compatible species. This guppy is an active swimmer and does well with a varied diet that includes high-quality flakes, small pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods. The Green Cobra Guppy is a hardy and peaceful fish, making it a great choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists.
What we feed Guppies
We feed our fish a mix of frozen, live and prepared foods including live baby brine and black worms. We also supplement their diet with a mix of Northfin Veggie, Community and Bug Pro.
Here are some common questions a hobbyist might ask about the Green Cobra Guppy and their answers:
Green Cobra Guppies do well in tanks of at least 10 gallons, but larger tanks are better for maintaining stable water conditions and supporting a group of guppies.
They thrive on a varied diet, including high-quality flakes or pellets, along with occasional live or frozen foods like brine shrimp or daphnia for added nutrition.
Yes, they are peaceful and suitable for community tanks. They coexist well with other non-aggressive fish of similar size, such as tetras, rasboras, or other livebearers.
It’s best to keep them in groups of at least three or more. A good ratio is one male to multiple females to prevent stress on the females caused by constant courting behavior.
Yes, like other guppies, they are prolific livebearers. If you want to avoid overpopulation, keep only one gender or ensure tankmates will control fry numbers.
Green Cobra Guppies appreciate a planted tank with plenty of swimming space. Floating plants or fine-leaved plants like Java moss can provide shelter for fry if breeding occurs.
I usually don’t like long caudal (tail) finned fish but made an exception as these males seem moderate, I’m glad I tried them. Ordered 2 males and 6 females for the 1:3 ratio. Sadly one male was a bit off and kept to himself, he died about 24-36 hours after arrival. Since it was not a DoA I did not contact about a refund. But I bought 2 males incase of this happening so it’s ok. The other male is doing well, not as intense colors at sale photo but he does have the green tint. Females are all well, looking forward to seeing offspring. They are in an old established tank with a variety of abnubias, and salvinia and water lettuce for floaters. Lots of places to forage and future fry to hide.
All of the fish arrived alive and in good condition. This one in particular is absolutely gorgeous. Have and will order from flip again.
Came in healthy big snd beautiful excellent addition to go with the male I have
Sadly the first green cobra I ordered didn’t make it but I followed the directions on the site and getting a new fish was very easy. The next one that arrived was (and is) very active and fun to watch.
Wasn’t even green
But it was healthy
Love it
Received a dead guppy. Sent an email no response

Beautiful fish. 100% live on arrival.
All arrived in perfect condition.

I could not be happier with my purchase. They came in in perfect health and are thriving in their new home. I will definitely be buying more from you as well as other varieties of tropicals.
Green Cobra Guppy
Beautiful, healthy fish!
Fish arrived super fast, alive and healthy! Adjusted very well and get along the other fish already in the tank. Lively and beautiful!
This little feller arrived quick, acclimated well, is lively & happy & the female guppies like him! Two are pregnant already! He's a beauty. Great packaging as always.
Just a happy little guppy:)
Very happy with my order
The two guppies arrived alive but looked very thin and I was concerned for their health. I tried feeding them various foods but within a week they both died.
Absolutely stunning watching them swim in pairs is something to behold, could barely put into words
Fishes came in excellent conditions, they are still alive and thriving to this day.
Arrived healthy and still doing great a month later!
Very nice guppies that arrived healthy and acclimated very well.
Had a lot of trouble finding healthy guppies at local fish stores. Ordered a pair of these guys and they have been absolutely awesome, super colorful and the healthiest guppies I've owned so far. Already plenty of babies filling up my 20 gallon!
1 female was DOA, the other "female" ended up being a male that is crossed with an Endlers Livebearer.
