About the Dumbo Ear Mosaic Guppy (Female)

The Dumbo Ear Mosaic Guppy female (Poecilia reticulata) is a designer variant that brings a unique look to the aquarium. While female guppies are often overlooked in favour of their male counterparts, the Dumbo Ear Mosaic Guppy strain is a striking exception. Their oversized, wing-like pectoral fins flutter gracefully as they swim. These females display a “Mosaic” pattern on their tails, a beautiful, marbled or lace-like design in shades of blue, purple, or black that contrasts sharply against their shimmering silvery-grey bodies.

As social livebearers, they are much happier and more active when kept in groups. While the standard rule for schooling is six, we suggest keeping a group of 8–12 females to see them at their most confident. They are exceptionally hardy and adaptable, thriving in a pH range of 7.0–8.5 and preferring moderate to hard water.

Since they are active explorers and surface feeders, the Dumbo Ear Mosaic Guppy should be fed high-quality flakes and micro-pellets. To support their growth and the development of their vibrant tail patterns, supplemental feedings of frozen daphnia, brine shrimp, and bloodworms are highly recommended.

Quick Care Tips

Social: Keep in groups of six or more to encourage active social displays. They are confident, active fish that thrive when they have plenty of companions to interact with.
Environment: They prefer tanks with dense foliage and floating plants. These provide essential resting spots near the surface and help fry survive if you are looking to grow your colony.
Diet: Feed colour-enhancing flakes and micro-pellets to maintain their vibrancy. Supplement with protein-rich frozen foods like daphnia or brine shrimp to support their active metabolism.
