The Full Red Albino Guppy is a popular color variety of the Guppy fish (Poecilia reticulata). It is named for its bright red coloration and its lack of pigmentation, which gives it an overall white or pinkish appearance.

As an albino fish, the Full Red Albino Guppy lacks the dark pigment melanin in its skin and scales, which results in a pale, almost translucent appearance. However, it makes up for this with its vibrant red coloration, which is produced by other pigments in the skin.
