If anything delays your order past the date shown at checkout, we email you with the reason. Every fish is health checked before it ships. Questions about availability? Message us anytime.

- Keep the water at 72 to 82°F with pH 6.8 to 7.8.
- Do regular partial water changes to keep colors bright and fins healthy.
- Feed quality flakes or micro pellets, plus frozen or live foods like brine shrimp and daphnia.
- Keep with peaceful tankmates. Avoid fin nippers.
Lavender Mosaic Big Ear Guppy FAQ
What is in a 3-Pack or 5-Pack?
Every fish in a pack is the sex you pick. A Male 5-Pack is 5 males, and a Female 5-Pack is 5 females.
Can I get males and females?
Yes. Add males and females to your cart as separate items.
How many females per male?
Many keepers use 2 to 3 females per male so the males do not stress one female.
Can guppies live with other fish?
Yes. Guppies are peaceful and do well with other calm community fish. Avoid fin nippers.
When will my fish ship?
Guppies are imported to order and may take a minimum of 2 weeks to import. If we need more time than the date shown at checkout, we email you the reason.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
"What You See is What You Get" collection?
With our "What You See is What You Get" collection, you can view the exact fish you'll be receiving. Each fish is photographed individually, so you know exactly what you're purchasing before it arrives at your door.
Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?
Yes! We offer a 100% live arrival guarantee. Our fish are shipped directly from our collections with care, and we stand behind their quality. If your fish arrive in poor condition, please contact us within 24 hours with a photo, and we’ll provide a replacement or refund, as per our terms and conditions.
What is the Direct from Farm collection?
The Direct from Farm collection is our preorder system where you can select fish directly from our farm in Thailand. Because we carefully source each fish, this process takes a little longer—approximately 2 weeks for the fish to arrive from Thailand and another week for quarantine before being shipped to you. This ensures that your fish are healthy and acclimated before they reach your aquarium.
How do I care for my new fish once they arrive?
When your fish arrive, it’s important to acclimate them gradually to your tank’s water temperature. Ensure your aquarium is fully cycled and that water parameters (temperature, pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels) are stable. If you need any tips on setting up your tank or caring for your fish, feel free to reach out!

Guppy care
Guppy care, at a glance.
Fancy guppies are peaceful, active and full of color. Here is how to set up the tank, feed them and get them settled.
Recommended tank10+ galFor a small group
Water temperature74–80°F23–27°C · keep stable
FiltrationGentle flowLong tails tire in strong current
HousingGroups3+ guppies, or all males
Is your tank a good fit?
Guppies like a warm, planted tank with gentle flow. Keep them in small groups so they stay active and show their best color.
What you'll need
Tank space10 gallons or more for a small group
Warm waterA heater and thermometer, 74–80°F
Gentle filterA sponge or low-flow filter; long tails tire fast
Everyday foodSmall pellets or flakes in tiny portions
Make them comfortable
PlantsJava moss and floating plants give cover and help fry survive
Group mixAll-male groups show the most color. Mixed groups will breed
Tank matesSmall, calm fish like medaka. Avoid fin nippers
A lidKeeps them in and the water warm
Plan for babies. Guppies give birth to live young. If you keep males and females together, expect fry and add moss or floating plants for cover.
Get the tank ready.
How to cycle a fish tank →Set up and cycle the tank before your guppies arrive. Cycling grows the helpful bacteria in your filter that break down fish waste.
Equipment & how it helps
Heater & thermometerKeeps water warm and steady
Sponge or gentle filterSafe for fry and long fins
Live plantsCover for fry and natural water cleaning
Conditioner & test kitRemoves chlorine and chloramine and checks water quality
Water readings to check
Temperature74–80°F / 23–27°C
pH7.0–8.0; guppies like harder water
Ammonia & nitriteBoth 0 ppm, check with a test kit
NitrateUnder 20 ppm; water changes keep it low
Test the water before adding fish. Finish cycling first. Ammonia and nitrite should both read zero before your new fish go in.
A routine you can follow.
Shop fish food →Small meals and clean water keep guppies healthy and colorful.
Your care routine
DailyFeed small and often. Feed tiny amounts once or twice a day, only what they eat in 1 to 2 minutes.
WeeklyChange and test the water. Change 25 to 30% of the water. Treat new water with conditioner and match the temperature.
As neededClean the filter gently. Rinse sponges or filter media in old tank water, never tap water, so the good bacteria survive.
Add variety.
Mix flakes or micro pellets with frozen or live baby brine shrimp for better color and growth.
Welcome them home.

Simple answers to help you feel ready for your new guppies.
How many guppies should I get?
Start with at least 3. All-male groups show the most color and won't breed.
Do guppies need a heater?
Yes, in most homes. Keep them at 74–80°F.
Will my guppies have babies?
If you keep males and females together, yes. Guppies give birth to live fry about once a month.
Can guppies live with bettas?
Sometimes, but it is risky. Bettas may nip guppy tails and some guppies nip bettas. Watch closely or keep them apart.
Why do guppy orders take longer?
Our guppies are imported to order from farms in Thailand. Plan on a minimum of 2 weeks before they ship.
