Dumbo Ear Guppy Male

Scientific Name: Poecilia reticulata

The Dumbo Ear Guppy is a distinctive selectively bred guppy variety known for its dramatically enlarged pectoral fins, which resemble the oversized ears that give this strain its name. Males combine these unique fins with bright coloration, decorative tails, and graceful swimming behavior, creating an eye-catching display in planted and peaceful freshwater community aquariums.

Dumbo Ear Guppies are active, peaceful livebearers that spend much of their time swimming throughout the middle and upper levels of the aquarium. This product contains males only, making it an excellent choice for aquarists who want colorful fancy guppies without producing fry from a mixed-sex group. Individual coloration, patterns, and fin appearance can vary considerably, making each male unique.
