Received a pair of Red Tuxedo guppies and they’ve been active and healthy since day one. The red tail markings stand out well in the tank. Easy to care for and get along with my other community fish. Perfect for a small freshwater setup.

The fish arrived quickly and looked healthy. The males have bright red fins, and the females are calm and not aggressive. I’ve kept them in a 10-gallon tank with neon tetras and they coexist well.

Love the unique tuxedo look. The fish swim actively and stay in the middle of the tank. Very easy to maintain. I’m happy with the pair and how they’ve adapted to the water conditions.

They were fine at first, but after a week, one of the males seemed less active. I’m not sure if it’s due to water parameters or just individual variation. Still, they’re not aggressive and look good overall.
