This guppy is absolutely stunning. The Dumbo fins are very noticeable and the coloration is unique. It fits well in my 10-gallon tank and seems healthy after a few weeks. I love the contrast between the green body and red fins.
Amelia Smith –
The fish looks more elegant than other guppies I’ve had. The silvery green front and bright red tail make it a focal point in the tank. It’s active but not too aggressive, which is great for a community setup.
