Tropcial Fish Blue Neon Guppy - Extra Large () A very good tropical fish for freshwater aquarium fish beginners, the Guppy is a very hardy tropical fish that is also very prolific breeder. The male Guppy is easy to distinguish from the female because the male is usually more colorful with extremely colorful and large caudal fins (tails). The female Guppy is usually larger, thicker bodied, with less color and a smaller cuadal fin (tail). They are livebearers which means that the babies are free swimming at birth. At each birth, the female can have anywhere between 4 and 60 or more babies. (Please be responsible and have a plan for what to do with the fry. If you're not interested in breeding them they should do just fine when kept as all males or all females.) You may sometimes see some aggression amongst the males but nothing too out of hand. Also, keep in mind that female guppies can be pregnant when you buy them from the store. Look for the gravid spot by the anal vent or a bulging in the belly area. They will accept most fish food including vitamin enriched flakes, frozen, freeze dried and live foods. Try to give them a variety of foods for optimum health and coloration. Feeding them live or frozen foods every once in a while should do wonders for their activity levels and general well being.

Livebearers in general are not aggressive and are good community fish with other fish of similar size. Most livebearers are schooling fish and do best in groups of 5 or more. The schools generally develop a hierarchy with a dominant male that will be the most brightly colored fish in the group.
