Male Flame Guppy

Male Flame Guppy - Fiery Orange-Red Flame Colouration

The Male Flame Guppy lives up to its name with a fiery orange-red flame colouration that seems to glow as it catches the light, making it one of the warmer, more intense colour strains available.

This vivid strain keeps all the easy-going hardiness of standard guppies, settling comfortably into community tanks and feeding readily on a varied diet, which helps maintain the intensity of its fiery colouration over time.

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