Guppy Half Black | Male & Female

 The Half Black Guppy is a visually stunning and popular variety of guppy fish, known for its distinctive coloration and patterns. 

Color: The Half Black Guppy is characterized by its unique half-black coloration. The rear half of the body is a deep, solid black, while the front half can be a variety of vibrant colors, including red, blue, yellow, or green. This striking contrast makes the Half Black Guppy particularly eye-catching.

Pattern: The transition between the black and the colored section of the body is smooth, creating a dramatic and appealing look. The fins often carry the same black coloration, with some individuals having additional color highlights or patterns on their fins.

Size: Half Black Guppies typically grow to about 1.5-2.5 inches (3.5-6 cm) in length, with males usually being smaller and more slender than females.

Fins: Males have larger and more elaborate fins compared to females. The tail and dorsal fins are often flowing and display the same contrasting colors as the body.

Natural Habitat: Guppies, including the Half Black variant, originate from freshwater streams, ponds, and rivers in South America, particularly in Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana.

Environment: They thrive in a variety of freshwater habitats, often in areas with abundant vegetation and stable water conditions.

Temperament: Guppies are peaceful and social fish, making them ideal for community tanks. They are active swimmers and enjoy exploring their environment. Half Black Guppies display similar behaviors.

Compatibility: They get along well with other small, peaceful fish. Ideal tank mates include other livebearers, tetras, rasboras, and small catfish. They should not be housed with aggressive or fin-nipping species.
