The Panda Guppy is a striking fancy guppy variety admired for its bold black-and-white contrast reminiscent of a panda pattern. With a dark body, bright highlights, and flowing fins, this eye-catching livebearer brings strong visual contrast and constant activity to planted and community aquariums. Hardy, peaceful, and easy to care for, Panda Guppies are excellent choices for both beginner hobbyists and experienced aquarists looking to add a unique guppy strain to their collection.
Approximate Shipping Size: 0.75–1 inch
Panda Guppies typically feature a dark base coloration combined with lighter silver or white accents, creating a dramatic high-contrast look. Males often display longer, more colorful fins and deeper patterns, while females are slightly larger with more subtle coloration. Under proper lighting and good nutrition, their contrast and finnage become even more pronounced as they mature.
These guppies are peaceful, active swimmers that thrive in groups. They occupy the middle to upper levels of the aquarium and are constantly exploring their environment. Keeping them in balanced ratios (more females than males) helps reduce stress and encourages natural social behavior.
Panda Guppies are hardy and adaptable, thriving in stable freshwater aquariums with consistent maintenance. Planted tanks with open swimming areas help them display their best colors and behavior.
Tank Size: 10 gallons minimum
Temperature: 72–82°F
pH: 6.8–7.8

Aquascape: Plants, open swimming areas, gentle flow
Ideal tank mates include small tetras, rasboras, Corydoras, peaceful rainbowfish, dwarf shrimp, platies, mollies, and other non-aggressive livebearers. Avoid aggressive fish or fin-nippers that may stress or damage their fins.
Panda Guppies are omnivores that accept a wide range of foods. Offer high-quality flakes or micro pellets as a staple, supplemented with frozen or live foods such as baby brine shrimp, daphnia, and finely chopped bloodworms to enhance coloration and overall health.
