Metal Black Tail Guppy Breeding Pair A Grade
🖤 Metal Black Tail Guppy
Description & Care Guide
✨ Appearance
Metal Black Tail Guppies are striking, selectively bred guppies known for:
– Deep, solid black caudal (tail) fin — often velvety and opaque
– Metallic sheen on the body, usually silver, platinum, or steel‑blue
– Males: slimmer, more colorful, with longer flowing fins
– Females: larger, rounder, with shorter fins and a subtler metallic shine
– Active, peaceful swimmers that stand out beautifully in planted tanks
The contrast between the metallic body and the jet‑black tail is what makes this strain so eye‑catching.

🐟 Ideal Tank Conditions
Tank Setup
– Minimum tank size: 10 gallons for a pair
– Temperature: 24–27°C
– pH: 6.8–7.8
– Water hardness: Medium to hard water helps maintain color and health
– Filtration: Gentle flow; guppies prefer calm water
– Lighting: Moderate — enhances the metallic body shine
– Plants: Java moss, guppy grass, hornwort, anubias, and floating plants
A dark substrate or background makes their black tails pop even more.
—
🍽 Feeding
To keep their colors rich and their fins healthy, offer a varied diet:
– High‑quality micro‑pellets or flake food
– Live or frozen foods: brine shrimp, daphnia, mosquito larvae
– Vegetable matter: spirulina flakes or blanched greens
Feed small portions 1–2 times daily.
—
❤️ Behavior & Compatibility
Metal Black Tail Guppies are:
– Peaceful and social
– Great for community tanks
– Compatible with mollies, platies, peaceful tetras, rasboras, corydoras, and shrimp
– Best kept away from fin‑nippers like tiger barbs or aggressive bettas

👶 Breeding Notes
Like all guppies, they breed readily:
– Gestation: ~28–30 days
– Females can drop 20–40 fry per batch
– Provide dense plants or a breeding box if you want to save fry
– Adults may eat babies, so hiding spots are important
Selective breeding helps maintain the deep black tail and metallic body traits.

🧼 Maintenance
– Weekly 25–30% water changes
– Keep nitrates low to prevent fin damage
– Watch for common issues like fin rot or ich
– Stable water parameters help maintain their deep coloration

Puffer Fish Figure 8
We make sure all our fishes are kept with highest living standards with proper aquarium water care. Our fishes are quarantined before they are introduced to the store display aquariums. We make sure we sell healthy live fish and not parasites.
Very few people can resist a puffer fish once they’ve seen one, and the small figure 8 puffer might be one you’d like to bring home to your own freshwater aquarium. Their expressive faces, intelligent curiosity, and propeller-like fins are charming. Puffer fish derive their name from their ability to inflate themselves with water or air when startled. This is a very successful defensive mechanism because it’s harder to swallow a fish that’s ballooning in size!
