Purple Lace Guppy (Pair) (Show)

Purple lace guppies are bred for show by our Thailand breeder. Their true purple colors on the tail take time to develop, unlike most guppy varieties. Females, as usual, do not have the same beautiful tails, but if you want handsome babies, you're going to need one. Each Purple Lace pair has one purple lace female and one purple lace male.

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: The purple color on the tail takes time to develop, so young males may look plain at first.
