This male Orange Red Eye Guppy is stunning. The dark red eyes stand out in the tank and the solid orange body makes it a focal point. It’s calm and active without being aggressive. I’ve kept it for three months and it’s thriving in my 20-gallon tank.

Beautiful fish with a unique look. The eye color is very distinct and the body color is vibrant. It’s a bit smaller than other guppies, but that adds to its charm. Easy to care for and stays healthy in a well-maintained tank.
