Snake Skin Blue Tail Guppy – Pair

The Snake Skin Blue Tail Guppy:  This guppy pair is ideal for beginner and experienced aquarists alike, offering a stunning combination of beauty and easy care. Their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and engaging behavior make them a perfect choice for community tanks or breeding projects.

The male guppy displays an intricate “snakeskin” pattern on its body, consisting of black or dark lines that form a chain-like or netted design.

The tail is a vibrant blue, often with hints of iridescence, giving it a shimmering, luminous quality. The tail fin may also display faint patterns that complement the body.

Females are less vividly colored, with a subtle snakeskin pattern on their body and faint blue hues on their tail. They are generally larger and more robust than males.

Males are smaller, typically 1.5–2 inches long, while females can grow up to 2.5 inches.

These guppies are sociable and thrive in community tanks with other peaceful fish.

They are lively and enjoy exploring all levels of the tank, particularly the middle and upper sections.

A 10-gallon tank is the minimum requirement, but larger tanks are recommended for pairs or groups.
