Green Cobra Guppy

Green Cobra Guppies belong to the family Poeciliidae which are referred to as either “toothed carps” or often just lumped into the “livebearer” family. After more than a century of captive breeding, the wide variety of color forms these two-inch-long fish can display is astonishing. Among all these, the designation “Cobra” indicates a body covered in stripes and spots, not unlike that of the venomous snake with the same name, and a tail that is usually more of a solid color, though often with slashes of iridescence. Like all color forms of Guppy, the Green Cobra is small, with males rarely getting larger than an inch and a half long, and females three quarters of an inch longer.
