About Guppies
Explore guppy fish for sale in Singapore from aquarium shops, breeders and specialist sellers on FishyHub. Browse available guppy strains, colours, sizes and listings from multiple sellers in one place, and compare options before choosing the right guppies for your aquarium.
Guppies are among the most popular freshwater aquarium fish, known for their vivid colours, active behaviour and huge variety of selectively bred strains. They are relatively easy to keep, reproduce readily and can work well in community aquariums when housed with suitable tankmates.
Popular Guppy Varieties
Full Red Guppy
Full Red Guppies are bred for strong red coloration across much of the body and fins. Quality varies between lines, with better specimens showing more consistent colour, balanced body shape and well-developed finnage.
Blue Moscow Guppy
Blue Moscow Guppies are known for their deep metallic blue coloration, often extending across both the body and fins. They are popular among hobbyists who prefer a bold, uniform colour rather than multi-patterned guppies.
Tuxedo Guppy
Tuxedo Guppies typically display a darker rear half of the body, creating a distinctive two-tone appearance. They are available in many colour combinations and are common in both hobbyist and breeder collections.
Dumbo Ear Guppy
Dumbo Ear Guppies are recognised by their enlarged pectoral fins, which can give them a dramatic, flowing appearance while swimming. These fins may display contrasting colours and patterns depending on the strain.
Ribbon Guppy
Ribbon Guppies are selectively bred for elongated fins, particularly around the ventral and anal fin area. Their ornamental finnage makes them visually striking, although extreme fin development can affect swimming and breeding performance in some lines.
Other Guppy Strains
Guppies are available in an enormous range of colours and patterns, including koi, mosaic, grass, snakeskin, lace, platinum, albino and metallic forms. New combinations continue to appear as breeders selectively develop different traits.
Choosing Healthy Guppies
When buying guppies, look beyond colour alone.
A healthy guppy should have an active swimming posture, a well-proportioned body and fins that are open rather than constantly clamped against the body.
Body Condition
Avoid fish that appear excessively thin, swollen or unusually curved. A healthy guppy should look well fed without appearing bloated.
Fin Condition
Check for torn, deteriorating or tightly clamped fins. Minor damage may heal, but poor fin condition can also indicate stress, aggression or water-quality issues.
Swimming Behaviour
Healthy guppies are generally active and curious. Fish that remain isolated, struggle to maintain position or repeatedly stay at the surface or bottom should be examined carefully before purchase.
Colour and Pattern
Colour intensity depends on strain, genetics, age, diet and condition. When buying premium strains, compare overall body shape and finnage alongside colour quality.
Male vs Female Guppies
Male and female guppies are easy to distinguish once mature.
Male guppies are generally smaller and much more colourful, with larger decorative tails and fins.
Female guppies tend to have larger bodies, shorter fins and more subdued coloration, although selectively bred females can still be attractive.
If males and females are kept together, breeding is highly likely. Guppies are prolific livebearers and females can produce multiple batches of fry after mating.
For hobbyists who do not want continuous breeding, keeping only males is often the simplest option.
Guppy Tank Setup
Guppies are adaptable fish, but they still benefit from stable water conditions, adequate filtration and enough swimming space.
A planted aquarium works especially well because plants provide cover, improve visual structure and can offer hiding places for fry.
Suitable aquarium features may include live plants, driftwood, smooth decorations and open swimming areas.
Filtration should maintain good water quality without creating excessively strong current.
Guppies are active fish and are generally more enjoyable to observe in a properly sized aquarium than in very small containers.
Feeding Guppies
Guppies are omnivorous and readily accept a wide variety of aquarium foods.
Quality flakes or micro pellets can form the foundation of their diet, supplemented with suitable frozen, live or vegetable-based foods.
A varied diet can help support growth, condition, coloration and breeding performance.
Feed amounts should be kept moderate. Overfeeding can quickly reduce water quality, particularly in heavily stocked guppy aquariums.
Can Guppies Live With Other Fish?
Guppies are generally peaceful and can work well in community aquariums.
Suitable tankmates may include other peaceful freshwater fish of similar size and temperament.
Avoid keeping guppies with highly aggressive or predatory species that may chase them, damage their fins or eat them.
Long-finned male guppies can sometimes attract attention from fin-nipping fish, so tankmate selection should consider behaviour as well as size.
Guppies can also sometimes be kept with freshwater shrimp and snails, although very small shrimp or newborn fry may still be eaten.
Breeding Guppies
Guppies are livebearers, meaning females give birth to free-swimming young rather than laying eggs.
They reproduce very easily under suitable conditions, which makes them popular with beginner breeders.
A mature female may produce multiple fry in a single brood, and females can store sperm after mating.
If you want to raise fry successfully, provide dense plants or dedicated nursery areas to give newborn guppies places to hide from adult fish.
For selective breeding, breeders usually separate specific males and females based on colour, fin shape, pattern and other desired traits.
Guppy Price in Singapore
Guppy prices in Singapore vary depending on strain, quality, size, colour, finnage, breeder and rarity.
Common guppies can be relatively inexpensive, while premium selectively bred strains may command significantly higher prices.
Pairs, trios and breeder-quality fish may also be priced differently from individual aquarium-grade guppies.
When comparing guppies for sale, consider health, body shape, fin quality, colour consistency and seller reputation rather than choosing based on price alone.

Are guppies easy to keep?
Guppies are generally considered relatively easy freshwater fish, but they still require stable water quality, appropriate filtration, suitable food and regular aquarium maintenance.
How many guppies should be kept together?
Guppies are social and can be kept in groups. The appropriate number depends on aquarium size, filtration capacity and whether males and females are being mixed.
Can male and female guppies live together?
Yes, but they will very likely breed. If you do not want fry, keeping a male-only group is usually simpler.
How often do guppies breed?
Under suitable conditions, female guppies can produce fry repeatedly. They can also store sperm and produce additional broods after a previous mating.
What do guppies eat?
Guppies are omnivorous and accept flakes, small pellets and suitable frozen or live foods.
Can guppies live with Betta fish?
Sometimes, but it depends on the Betta's temperament. The bright colours and large tails of male guppies can trigger aggression in some Betta.
Can guppies live with shrimp?
Yes in many setups, although guppies may eat very small shrimp or newly hatched shrimp.
How long do guppies live?
Guppies commonly live for several years under suitable conditions, although lifespan varies with genetics, water quality, diet and husbandry.
