About the Strain

The Kohaku is a koi-style guppy. Color runs through orange, yellow and white, and the males carry the boldest tails. Females often have translucent bodies.

Every Kohaku we offer is raised in our own fish room on live baby brine shrimp and conditioned on flake before it ships, so it arrives eating what you already have at home.

Tank Mates

Guppies are community fish. They do well with most other fish that won’t pick on them, which makes them an easy fit for a mixed tank.

Good matches are peaceful fish of similar size, such as small tetras, rasboras, corydoras, platies and mollies. Skip fin-nippers and large or aggressive fish.

As with any fish, anything small enough to fit in a mouth is food, so keep size in mind when choosing tank mates.
