Swordtail Guppy
The Swordtail Guppy is a beautiful and active livebearer known for its long, sword-like tail extension that gives it a striking and elegant appearance. These guppies come in a variety of vibrant colors and patterns, making them a favorite among aquarists for adding movement and brightness to community aquariums.
Hardy and adaptable, Swordtail Guppies are excellent for both beginners and experienced fishkeepers. They are livebearers, meaning they give birth to free-swimming fry, and can breed readily in aquariums with stable water conditions. Providing plants or hiding spots will help protect the fry if breeding occurs.
Swordtail Guppies thrive best in small groups and prefer aquariums with plenty of swimming space, clean water, and a varied diet. They are peaceful and get along well with other community fish of similar size and temperament.
