They're a fantastic choice for beginners and a fun, rewarding fish for experienced keepers who enjoy breeding for color. They pair naturally with our other livebearers and community species.

Guppy Care Tips
Guppies are wonderfully adaptable but still need a fully cycled, stable aquarium to thrive. They prefer slightly hard, neutral-to-alkaline water and appreciate gentle filtration and plenty of plant cover. Feed a varied diet of quality flakes, micro pellets, and the occasional frozen treat, and keep up with regular water changes. Be aware that guppies breed readily, so a mixed-sex group will quickly produce fry. Live plants and floating plants give baby guppies places to hide and survive.
Best Tank Mates for Guppies
Guppies are peaceful community fish that get along with most calm tankmates. Great matches include corydoras catfish, rasboras, peaceful loaches, and a shrimp or snail clean-up crew. Avoid fin-nippers and large or aggressive fish that might mistake a guppy's flowing tail for food.
FAQ: Guppies
Are guppies good for beginners? Absolutely. They're among the hardiest, most forgiving freshwater fish, which makes them a perfect first species once your tank is cycled.
Can guppies live in community aquariums? Yes. Guppies are peaceful fish that generally do well with tetras, rasboras, corydoras, shrimp, and other community species.
Will my guppies have babies? If you keep males and females together, yes — guppies breed easily and often. Add plenty of plant cover if you'd like some fry to survive, or keep a single-sex group to avoid a population boom.
How many guppies should I keep? A small group of three or more works well. Many keepers keep more females than males to reduce stress on the females.
What size tank do guppies need? A 10-gallon tank is a good starting point for a small group, though bigger is always better for water stability and room to grow.
What water temperature and conditions do guppies need? Guppies do best in water between 72-82°F with a pH of about 6.8-7.8 and slightly hard water. A stable, fully cycled tank with gentle filtration keeps them healthy and colorful.
What should I feed my guppies? Guppies are omnivores and thrive on a varied diet. Offer quality flakes or micro pellets as a staple, and supplement with frozen or live treats like brine shrimp and daphnia to bring out their best color.
How long do guppies live? With good care and stable water conditions, fancy guppies typically live about 1-2 years. Clean water, a balanced diet, and low stress all help them reach their full lifespan.
How are your guppies shipped? Your guppies are carefully bagged with oxygen and packed to keep them safe and comfortable in transit. We ship by approved overnight methods when weather conditions allow, and orders are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.
