Black Koi Guppies (Poecilia reticulata)

These striking guppies bring a sophisticated look to the community tank with their high-contrast tuxedo bodies and vibrant orange highlights. Unlike your standard mixed-tank varieties, the Black Koi strain is bred for a specific aesthetic that mimics the classic pattern of pond fish. They are active swimmers that spend most of their time in the upper water column. You will receive a matched male and female pair, allowing you to observe their natural social behavior and potentially start your own breeding project. Give them a planted backdrop to really see those dark pigments pop. Thrive in well-filtered water with a steady temperature between 72°F and 82°F. Prefer harder water with a slightly alkaline pH to keep their scales and fins healthy. Accepts high-quality flakes, micro-pellets, and frozen treats like daphnia or baby brine shrimp. Live-bearing species that appreciate floating plants for cover and fry protection.
