Blue Diamond Guppy

About the Blue Diamond Guppy

The Blue Diamond Guppy is a vibrant, selectively bred variety of the common guppy (Poecilia reticulata) known for its striking, deep blue coloration and brilliant shine, often with a metallic or "glowing" quality. These hardy, peaceful, and social livebearers are easy for beginners to care for and are an excellent addition to community tanks. Males are smaller and more colorful with elaborate fins, while females are larger and develop from males after 2 to 3 months.
