As the previous post said, there are many parameters to classify a guppy. And this time, we will try to classify it based on the tail pattern type. For the guppies available on the market today, mostly are only variations of these 4 major patterns.

 Guppies’ classifications according to colors are divided by two categories, the first one is Upper Body Color and the other one is the Lower Body Color. As for the first category, it’s consisting of 7 colors. Here they are:


As you can see in the picture, there are twelve shapes of tail and fin of guppies. Even so, there are more than just the shape of tail and fin that guppies can be categorized of. 

Black Moscow Guppy, as its name, is featuring full back color all around its part of body and fin. If you look carefully, the Black Moscow has 100% black color. Which makes this strain looks both beautiful and mysterious.


No need to say anything about the albino full red guppy strain. All of its body are red colored, including the eyes because they are albinos.


 Metal red lace comes with combination of three colors, metallic, orange, and red. But the metallic color is a dominant color in this fish, that’s why it’s called metal red lace.


As seen on the picture, Albino Red Lace guppy comes as an albino.  It mostly comes in white yellowish body and red color on both tail fin and back fin.


Mostly the characteristic of color of the wild red is intense dark red with hardly any other mixture of other colors like green or yellow patches. 

The incoming larger charged matter effectual in supplying the cyprinodont fry is the microworm. It is fair bigger enough to be panoptical. These smallish worms were introduced to the humankind from Sverige.

Water, which to us appears crystal-clear, when observed through a microscope is seen to be abundant with a broad tracheophyte of tiny living organisms. Tho' we cannot see them with our nude eye, the cyprinodont sees them, eats them and thrives on them.

Originally, guppy fishes live on brackish water marsh. This fishes are categorized to livebearer fishes because it breeds by giving birth, so the cultivation of guppy is relatively easy. Unfortunately, many people can’t tell the difference between male and female guppy right after they see it. 

Guppies are native to Trinidad and parts of South America, specifically Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Brazil, Guyana, Netherlands Antilles, Trinidad and Tobago, the US Virgin Islands, and Venezuela.
