These guppies are vibrant and active. The red coloration is striking, especially in the tail and fins. They adapt well to the tank and eat a variety of foods. Easy to care for and great for a beginner aquarium.

The pair arrived healthy and stayed active in my 10-gallon tank. They enjoy the variety of food I offer, including flakes and frozen brine shrimp. The color is bright and consistent over time.
