Red Cobra Guppy Male

Scientific Name: Poecilia reticulata

The Red Cobra Guppy is a striking selectively bred guppy variety known for its vibrant red-orange coloration and intricate cobra-style patterning. Males typically display bright red to orange tails combined with dark, reticulated markings across the body and fins, creating a colorful and highly detailed appearance that stands out beautifully in planted and peaceful freshwater community aquariums.

Red Cobra 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 the brilliant coloration of fancy guppies without producing fry from a mixed-sex group. The distinctive cobra pattern is characterized by patterned markings and vertical barring, although coloration and pattern intensity naturally vary between individual fish.
