Leopard Guppy
Distinct spots scattered across colorful fins.
Leopard guppies are recognized by rounded or irregular dark spots, most often across the tail. The pattern may appear over yellow, red, orange, blue, or multicolor backgrounds.
Leopard versus mosaic
Leopard patterns usually show more separate spots, while mosaic patterns tend to form connected lines and branching shapes. Some fish fall between the two, and seller terminology may overlap.
Yellow leopard
Dark spots contrast strongly against a bright yellow tail.
Red leopard
Black or dark marks sit over red and orange fins.
Blue leopard
Cool blue fins create a softer, high-detail appearance.
Care and selection
Provide stable freshwater conditions, varied food, gentle filtration, and peaceful tank mates. Select fish with clean fins and smooth swimming rather than choosing only the most heavily spotted individual.
