Turquoise Guppy Group, Male
The Turquoise Guppy is one of many color variations of Poecilia reticulata guppy. This attractive livebearer displays gorgeous shades of turquoise to bright blue. The hardiness of the Turquoise Guppy, along with its quick maturation, makes it an excellent choice for beginning hobbyists. This lively fish adds plenty of activity to any aquarium.
It requires a tank with at least 20 gallons of water and is very tolerant of changing tank conditions. Hardy plant varieties such as Java Fern and Java Moss are recommended, as they can handle the increased water hardness. Peaceful fish species make good tank mates.
Female Turquoise Guppies are larger in size and have a more subdued coloration compared to males.

Easy to care for and very active. My 20-gallon tank has been lively since adding the male Turquoise Guppy. The color is vibrant and it doesn’t stress other fish. I’ve kept it for three months and it’s still healthy.

Great for beginners. The fish stays calm and doesn’t require frequent water changes. I paired it with Java Moss and a few neon tetras. Works well in a community setup.

The turquoise color is striking. It swims actively and adds a lot of movement to the tank. Very hardy and adapts well to my water conditions.
