Male Tiger Guppy

Male Tiger Guppy - Bold Tiger Stripes for a Striking Display

The Male Tiger Guppy is defined by his bold tiger-stripe patterning, a series of dark bands running across a lighter body that give him a wild, striking look. It's a pattern that photographs beautifully and stands out well against most aquascapes.

His build reflects classic male guppy proportions, slim through the body with a broad, flowing tail he uses to full effect when interacting with other fish. He remains a peaceful, easy-going community member despite his eye-catching appearance.

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