Guppy Feeder Fish

Guppy Feeder Fish - Convenient Live Food or a Colourful Community Guppy

Guppy Feeder Fish are small, hardy guppies most commonly bought as a live food source for larger predatory fish and reptiles, offering an easy, readily accepted feed for species that prefer live prey. They are bred to the same standard as our other livestock, giving healthy, active feeders.

These are genuine guppies at heart, so if you'd prefer not to use them as feed, they are just as viable to raise on as a standard, colourful community guppy in a small planted tank. They are undemanding, adaptable fish that tolerate a wide range of established water conditions.

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