Metallic Blue Guppy (Pair)

Metallic patterns are prized for the deep, reflective solid colors on the tailfin of the males. AquariumFishSale imports the blue metallic guppy from Thailand, where the breeders are known for producing the classic large-tail, small-body pattern of show guppies.

Quick Facts

Care Guide

Tank setup: Give them a heater, a gentle filter and plenty of plants, including some floating plants where babies can hide. Guppies like slightly hard water.

Feeding: Feed a quality flake or small pellet once or twice a day, only as much as they eat in a couple of minutes. They also enjoy frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp.

Tankmates: Guppies get along with other small, peaceful fish such as platies, mollies, corydoras, small tetras and rasboras. Avoid fin-nippers like tiger barbs and larger fish that could eat them.

Breeding: Guppies are livebearers and breed easily. Females give birth to live babies about once a month, and adults will eat the babies, so thick plants give them a place to hide.

Good to know: Metallic guppies have a shiny, reflective sheen that changes with the light.
