What to Know Before Purchasing Online

Hobbyists unfamiliar with guppies should be warned - these fish breed easily in captivity. So much so that they're some of the most rehomed fish in the hobby. When most aquarium fish breed, very few will survive into adulthood. However, guppies are live-bearing fish, meaning the females will give birth to free-swimming young as opposed to laying eggs. This results in a lot of fish, which may exceed a hobbyist's aquarium size. Always be prepared for this scenario before purchasing guppies.

Our Favorites

When purchasing online, hobbyists share a responsibility with the vendor to ensure a successful shipment. Before purchasing, always make sure you're available during the delivery day so that you can unpack your fish and begin the acclimation process.

Now that we've covered some basics, here are some of our favorite places to buy guppies online.
