Assorted Lyretail Guppy
Assorted Lyretail Guppy for Sale
The Assorted Lyretail Guppy, also known as the Lyretail Fancy Guppy, is a beautiful mixed-color livebearer prized for its dramatic, double-pointed lyre-shaped tail. Each fish in an assorted group is unique, showing a wide range of vivid colors and patterns — from blues and reds to yellows, greens, and metallic mixes — with elegant flowing finnage that trails like a forked ribbon. Hardy, active, and endlessly colorful, they are one of the most rewarding livebearers for community aquariums.
Assorted Lyretail Guppies are a great choice for hobbyists looking for an easy-to-keep, eye-catching fish that breeds readily and adds constant movement and color to planted and community tanks. Because they are sold as an assortment, you will receive a colorful variety — males show the boldest color and longest finnage, while females are larger and fuller-bodied.

Best Aquarium Setup for Assorted Lyretail Guppies
Assorted Lyretail Guppies do best in a mature, well-maintained aquarium with gentle filtration, open swimming space, and some planted cover. Live plants, driftwood, and a calm flow help them feel secure and show off their best color while protecting their delicate lyre-shaped tails. They appreciate slightly hard, neutral to alkaline water, which mirrors the conditions guppies thrive in.
Because they are active, social livebearers, guppies are best kept in groups. A ratio of more females than males helps reduce stress on the females and keeps the group calm and active.
Assorted Lyretail Guppy Tank Mates
Assorted Lyretail Guppies are peaceful and do well with many community fish of similar size and temperament. Good tank mates may include other guppies, mollies, platies, swordtails, peaceful tetras, rasboras, corydoras catfish, kuhli loaches, and snails or shrimp.
Avoid large aggressive fish and known fin nippers such as some barbs, which may damage their long, flowing lyretails. They look their best in calm community aquariums with other gentle species.
Feeding Assorted Lyretail Guppies
Assorted Lyretail Guppies are easy to feed and accept a wide variety of aquarium foods. Offer a high-quality flake or micro pellet as a staple diet, along with frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms for variety and improved coloration. A varied diet keeps them healthy and brings out their vivid colors.
Important Care Notes
Guppies are livebearers and will readily breed in the aquarium, so expect fry if you keep males and females together. Provide dense plants or a breeding box if you want to raise the young. As with all fish, acclimate new arrivals slowly and keep up with regular water changes and stable water quality.
