Poecilia reticulata
Female fancy guppies with cobra-style body patterning, suited to mature planted community aquariums when stock is available.
Female Cobra Mix Guppy is the buyer-friendly name for Petra's Poecilia reticulata female / cobra mix listing. These are female fancy guppies selected for cobra-style body patterning, with more understated colour than many male guppies and natural variation from fish to fish.
This listing is for the female cobra mix form, not a generic guppy page. Add them only to a mature, stable aquarium with gentle filtration, warm water and peaceful tank mates. Current Shopify readback shows this SKU as out of stock, so check availability before planning a group.

Guppies are hardy, but they still need stable conditions. Use a mature heated freshwater aquarium with clean water, gentle-to-moderate flow and regular maintenance. Planted edges and floating cover help females settle, while open midwater space lets them feed and move naturally.
Poecilia reticulata usually suits peaceful community aquariums with similar warm freshwater conditions. Avoid uncycled tanks, sudden water swings and cramped groups where fish cannot move away from attention.
Feed a varied omnivore diet. A quality tropical flake or micro granule works well as the staple, with small frozen foods such as daphnia or brine shrimp offered as variety. Keep portions modest and remove waste so the water stays clean.
Female Cobra Mix Guppies are active livebearers and generally peaceful with suitable tank mates. They can work with small Corydoras, calm rasboras, suitable tetras and other gentle livebearers. Avoid aggressive fish, confirmed fin nippers and any tank mate large enough to swallow them.
If you keep males and females together, expect breeding behaviour. Keep enough space and cover so females can rest away from constant attention.
When available, livestock orders are packed carefully for a UK live-animal courier service. Eligible fish orders are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.
On arrival, float the bag, acclimate slowly, keep lights low and avoid heavy feeding on the first day. Watch breathing, posture, colour and appetite during the first week.
