Bluebird Farm & Horse Ranch

Guppies

Bluebird Farm & Horse Ranch has become overrun with guppies! What started out as a modest few has expanded exponentially! And, unfortunately, the predominant breed and strain has been lost in the population explosion. Identifying characteristics remain typical for the average guppy: longer fins on the males with a few spots on the tail, and about one inch in overall length (males are pictured above).

The aquarium at Bluebird Farm & Horse Ranch in not heated, and is densely populated with live aquatic plants. The photo to the right is of a beautiful yellow pregnant female.

Like most guppies, the females are rather plain and tend to be larger than their brightly finned counterparts (the females are in the photo to the left).

Guppies are excellent community fish and can be kept in a 10 or 20 gallon aquarium with several other types of similarly sized fish.

Guppies produce live young every few months - not eggs! Adults are offered for sale at the price of $0.75 each. There is no minimum to buy, and live replacements will be made during the first two weeks following purchase if a fatality should occur. Please call (208) 659-6825 for details.
