A striking male guppy with deep black colour, metallic platinum tones, and a distinctive lyretail
The Platinum Black Lyretail Male Guppy is an eye-catching freshwater livebearer featuring a metallic silver-platinum front half that transitions into a deep black body and tail. Bright orange markings through the fins add extra contrast, while the extended upper and lower points of the lyretail create a distinctive, elegant profile.
Active, peaceful, and easy to care for, these male guppies are well suited to planted community aquariums with plenty of open swimming space. Their bold colour contrast and unusual tail shape make them a standout choice for both beginner and experienced fishkeepers.
