Female Flame Guppy

Female Flame Guppy - Fiery Flame Colouration for Bold Displays

The Female Flame Guppy is named for her fiery orange-red flame colouration, which spreads warmly across her body and fins like glowing embers. It's a bold, high-visibility strain that livens up any aquascape with warm-toned contrast.

She has the sturdier build typical of female guppies and settles into new tanks with minimal stress. Naturally social, she tends to shoal loosely with other guppies and peaceful tankmates rather than staking out territory.

At N8 Aquatics, our fish are carefully raised and conditioned to ensure healthy stock suited to home aquariums.
