Currently, I have mainly black male guppies available. More colours and strains will be added soon.

Guppies are one of the most popular and colourful community fish. Known for their bright tail patterns and peaceful nature. Guppies do best in planted aquariums with decor and plenty of hiding places where males can take a break from each other. Provide floating plants for them to rest in; this will also help to maintain good water quality.

Essential Guppy tip: As livebearers, guppies need extra minerals, especially calcium and magnesium, to support bone development, healthy growth, good colouration, and overall vitality. They appreciate a GH of 4 plus. I suggest testing your tap water and increasing the hardness, if needed. I recommend Seachem Equilibrium to safely boost GH and provide all the essential minerals your Guppies need. Your plants will also benefit greatly from Equilibrium.

Water Condition
• Temperature: 22–27°C
• pH: 6.5–7.8
• Hardness: Medium to hard water preferred
• Tank setup: Plants, open swimming space, gentle flow

Diet
Micro pellets, crushed soldier fly larvae, baby brine shrimp, and daphnia. Also feed cooked veggies like peas (deshelled and mashed), as this helps with digestion and gives them a healthy, natural treat. You can also try cooked baby marrow and gem squash.

Additional Information
Guppies breed readily in home aquariums. Keeping more females than males (e.g., 2–3 females per male) reduces stress. They thrive in well-planted tanks, and live plants help fry survive if breeding occurs.
