The guppy (Poecilia reticulata), also known as the millionsfish,is one of the most popular freshwater aquarium fish species in the world. It is a small member of the Poecilidae family (females 4-6 centimetres long, males 2½–3½ centimetres long) and like all other members of the family, is live-bearing.
Guppy comes from South America. 
These fish are livebearers – the male has a copulatory organ that it uses to impregnate the female. It is interesting to watch the female grow fatter and then one day – guppy fry can be found swimming in the tank. Unless you want to provide fun and food for other fish in the tank (including other guppies) the fry should be removed. Guppies have been bred to include many different color patterns.
