Our Premium Assorted Guppies (Poecilia reticulata) are extremely colorful, peaceful fish whose small size makes it absolutely perfect for the nano or planted aquarium. Endlers on this listing vary in coloration, but they are all very high-quality!

Guppies typically occupy the top level of the water column, although they can often be seen swimming and feeding in the middle and bottom levels as well. They are also not afraid to jump, so they must be kept in an aquarium with either a lid/hood/canopy or at least a significantly lowered water level. They will not eat or bother plants. They are safe with other peaceful fish as long as the other fish are not known to nip at the long tail of the guppy. Adult dwarf shrimp are generally safe as well, but guppies may eat shrimp fry. Larger, peaceful invertebrates can also make good tankmates. Guppies are best kept in small groups.

While not a picky eater, Assorted Guppies will thrive and remain very colorful on a varied diet of meaty foods. High-quality flake food, pellets, and frozen or freeze-dried tubifex and bloodworms will all be readily accepted.

Assorted (B Grade) Guppy Culls)

Assorted B Grade Guppy Culls are healthy and lively guppies that may not display the best coloration or have slightly imperfect fins. These guppies are ideal for pond breeding or as dither fish in your aquarium. They are not considered premium guppies but are still a great addition to any tank.
