Snow White Platinum Guppy
A perfect starter fish! Guppies are peaceful community fish that reproduce with ease. They are livebearers, meaning the females release live fry rather than laying eggs. It is recommended to keep more females than males, as males can easily harass females with relentless attempts to reproduce, leading to stress in the females.
This line of guppies is absolutely breath-taking with their stark white bodies that seem to glow with how pure white the majority of their bodies and fins are, resulting in an elegant look.
For most strains, males are very colorful while the females remain gray or silver. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, so sexing these fish is best done by looking at the anal fin. The females will have short, rounded triangular fins, while males typically have longer, more pointed anal fins.

The Snow White Platinum Guppies are stunning with their pure white bodies. They are very peaceful and don’t bother each other. I kept 3 females and 1 male, and they’ve been thriving for over three months. The color is very striking in a community tank.
