A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Poecilia reticulata
Female - 1.5 to 2 inches long with stout body and short tail. The female whom I photographed was pregnant. Male - 0.5 to 1 inches long with thinner body and often long tail. More colorful than female. The male who I photographed has wild type coloration. Both male and female guppies vary in color and mainly males are bred selectively for colors, patterns and tail length and shape.
In the wild, guppies live in streams and rivers throughout South and Central America. Mine live in a ten gallon planted aquarium.
