Feature Species Profile - Guppies are an excellent choice for the beginning aquarist. There are numerous colorful variations and tail shapes. They are closely related to the Endler's Livebearer. Guppies are extremely popular not only for their color, but for their hardiness and the ease with which they produce live young. Guppies can survive easily on flake foods, but they also appreciate freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex, and brine shrimp. The males mature in 2 months and the females in 3 months with the females being larger. The females have almost no color and have a large dark gravid spot near their anal fin as their young develop. The male has a gonopodium which is extended to fertilize the female internally. Females can have young every 5 weeks.... more Three ways to remember our name: tropicalfish.me tropicalfishandaquariums.com timstropicalfish.com		Feature Photo
