Bring elegance and motion to your aquarium with the Metal Snakeskin Black Lace Guppy, a stunning variety of guppy prized for its metallic scales and intricate lace tail patterns. This fish exhibits a vibrant silver-to-black shimmer that reflects light beautifully, making it a highlight in any freshwater setup.

🌿 Appearance

The male Metal Snakeskin Black Lace Guppy features a distinctive snake-like body pattern with a shimmering metallic hue and lace-like black tail, giving it an exotic, refined look. Females are larger with subtler coloration but still display the snakeskin pattern.

💧 Tank Requirements

This guppy is hardy and highly adaptable, making it an excellent choice for beginners. Maintain clean, filtered water and a stable temperature between 22–28°C (72–82°F). A planted aquarium with gentle water flow helps mimic their natural environment and enhances their coloration.

🍽️ Diet & Feeding

Feed a balanced omnivorous diet including high-quality flakes, micro-pellets, and live or frozen foods such as daphnia or brine shrimp. Variety ensures rich coloration and vitality.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Behavior & Compatibility

Peaceful and social, these guppies thrive in community aquariums. They coexist well with other non-aggressive fish like tetras, rasboras, mollies, and corydoras. Avoid housing them with fin-nipping species.

🐣 Breeding

The Metal Snakeskin Black Lace Guppy is a livebearer, meaning females give birth to free-swimming fry. Provide dense plants or breeding boxes to protect fry from adults if you plan to raise them.

⚙️ Care Tips

• Perform 20–30% water changes weekly.

• Use fine gravel substrate and hardy plants for natural aesthetics.
