The guppy is very active and adds a lot of visual interest to my 10-gallon tank. The yellow color and glass belly are striking and really stand out among the other fish. It’s a great addition to a planted setup.

I was drawn to this guppy because of the unique glass belly. It’s not common and looks beautiful in my nano tank. The fish is healthy and active, though it does need a bit of space to swim freely.
