Fancy Guppies

About Fancy Guppies for Sale

Fancy guppies (Poecilia reticulata) are one of the most popular freshwater aquarium fish in the hobby and among the most commonly sold fish on Light Fish. Selectively bred over generations, fancy guppies come in an extraordinary range of tail shapes — delta, veil, sword, lyre, and more — and virtually every color of the rainbow. Because they're livebearers, females give birth to live fry rather than laying eggs, making them a popular choice for hobbyists interested in breeding.

On Light Fish you'll find fancy guppies listed directly by breeders and hobbyists across the United States. Every livestock shipment is backed by Light Fish's Live Arrival Guarantee — fish are packed in breather bags with heat or cold packs as needed, shipped in insulated boxes, and sent via priority or overnight shipping. Shipments are also weather-monitored and may be held to protect animals in transit. If you're buying guppies for the first time, look for sellers with strong review scores and detailed care notes in their listings. Guppies thrive in tanks of 10 gallons or more, at temperatures between 72–82°F, and a pH of 7.0–7.5.
