Guppies have been a favorite among aquarium enthusiasts for ages. Hailing from the tropical waters of South America and the Caribbean, these charming fish come in a stunning array of colors thanks to careful breeding at fish farms. Many new guppy owners start with just one or two, but since they are live-bearers with the ability to store sperm, it won’t be long before your tank starts to fill up!

Markings and Colors
There is undoubtedly the ideal guppy for you, regardless of the color scheme you can envision. Males have longer caudal and dorsal fins and more vivid colors than females, including white, red, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, and black. The fish may be all one or two colors, such as different tones of blue, black, orange, green, yellow, red, purple, and white, or its tail fins may appear marbled or striped. Depending on the variety, guppies can have an elongated tail that is half the length of their body, small, rounded tails, or "V"-shaped tails.
Tankmates
Guppies are calm, laid-back community fish that get along well with a variety of other non-aggressive fish species. Keeping them with similar, live-bearing fish, such mollies or platys, might be a good idea. Zebrafish and neon tetras are examples of little fish that make excellent tank companions. Having smaller tankmates will guaranty that more fry survive because any fry spawned from an active guppy mother may end up as supper for other fish in the tank.
A guppy-only aquarium is a popular choice among guppy goalkeepers. It's okay to combine different types of guppy in one tank. The size of the tank will determine how many guppies you can keep in it.
Feeding
As omnivores, guppies thrive on a range of commercially available diets. Despite the small size of guppies, pelleted feeds known as micro pellets are the best option since they retain nutrients longer than flakes. Supplements like frozen fish foods are acceptable, but only once or twice a week. For the majority of pet fish species, a full pelleted diet works best.
You can feed your fish once or twice a day, depending on the temperature of your aquarium and the other residents. Always start with a small amount of food, then add a little more once it's all gone. Check all of your fish during the few minutes you spend repeating this process.
