I bought a pair of Cobra Guppies for my 10-gallon tank and they’ve been active and colorful since day one. The patterns are very distinct and they swim around with energy. Easy to maintain and they don’t stress other fish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a vibrant, lively addition.

The fish arrived healthy and looked vibrant. They’ve been in my tank for three months and are still active. I appreciate the clear description of their markings. A bit shy at first, but now they’re swimming freely with the others.

Great choice for a colorful centerpiece. The cobra-like patterns are stunning and the fish are very hardy. I’ve kept them in a community tank with tetras and they get along well. No issues with water parameters so far.
