About my Fish

Guppies (Poecilia reticulata)

They are tropical freshwater fish. Native to South America. They can be found in the slow-flowing rivers, small streams, lakes, ponds and pools and occasionally in the brackish waters. 

They are one of the most popular aquarium fish because of its beautifully colored body, low requirements, ability to reproduce quickly and live side by side with many different types of fish.
