Galaxy Koi Guppy
A koi-patterned guppy with a bright red-orange head and a speckled galaxy-marbled body and tail. One of the more striking modern strains, and no more demanding than a standard guppy.
Feeding
Quality flake and micro-pellets with some vegetable content, plus frozen daphnia and brine shrimp.
Compatibility
Peaceful and suitable for most communities. Avoid fin-nippers such as tiger barbs and serpae tetras. Keep two or three females per male so no single female is harassed.
Behaviour and personality
Constantly active and always on show. Males display to females throughout the day, flaring their fins and posturing.
Before you buy

The guppies are very active and colorful. The red-orange head and galaxy marbling stand out in the tank. I kept them with a few peaceful community fish and they’ve been thriving. Water conditions were stable and I adjusted the pH to match their needs.

Beautiful fish with a unique pattern. They’re not aggressive and enjoy the daily displays. I followed the advice about keeping multiple females per male and it worked well. Feeding them flakes and frozen daphnia keeps them healthy.

I was impressed by how vibrant they look. The body markings are striking and they stay active throughout the day. I’ve had them for three months and they’re still producing fry, which is great for a beginner.
