Female Neon Firetail Guppy

Female Neon Firetail Guppy - Neon Body Colour Meets a Fiery Tail

Combining a glowing neon body colour with a fiery orange-red tail, the Female Neon Firetail Guppy is a striking two-tone strain that draws the eye the moment she swims into view. The contrast between her cool-toned body and warm tail creates a genuinely eye-catching effect.

She carries the sturdier, more rounded build typical of female guppies, giving her excellent hardiness for new and experienced keepers alike. Her temperament is calm and sociable, and she moves through the tank with an easy, confident manner.

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