Scientific Name: Poecilia reticulata
Common Names: Guppy, Millions Fish
Family: Poecilidea
Category: Livebearer
Distribution: Central America
Main Ecosystem: Swamp
Temperature: 64°F - 82°F
Hardness: 10 dH - 20 dH
pH: 6 - 8
Diet: Omnivore
Temperament: Peaceful
Care: Feed with vegetable-based flakes and mosquito larvae. Other additions to their diet to make it more varied are always welcome. Some salt in the water will do the fish good too.
Potential Size: Male: 2" Female: 2.5"
Water Region: All
Activity: Diurnal
Gender: Sex can be easily determined by the males modified anal fin (gonopodium).The male is more colorful than the female and has a longer and ornate tail fin. Females grow larger and have a more rounded body.
Breeding: Guppies are livebearers. Many plants including floating plants are essential for the survival of the baby guppies, as the parents will try to eat their fry. Breeding comes naturally to livebearers, so virtually no effort is needed to breed them. Only the best guppies should be bred to ensure the best babies. The babies should be removed as soon as they are free swimming to a separate tank to ensure their survival. Guppies stay pregnant for around thirty days. A ratio of 1 male to 2 females is recommended to ensure your females do not get stressed due to the males breeding efforts.

I wasn't sure how to go about the profiles. I should make two for Guppies, Wild Type and Fancy.
